The photograph captures an architectural decorative element of a facade, executed in the form of a female head. This sculptural detail is positioned at the corner of a construction, likely on a capital of a column or pilaster. The bas-relief depicts a stylized female face with wavy hair, framed by decorative elements characteristic of the neoclassical style.
The sculpture is made of a light-colored material (presumably plaster or limestone) and contrasts with the background of greenish brickwork. The face has a calm, detached expression typical of classical imagery. Below the chin of the sculpture, a decorative element resembling foliage ornamentation can be observed. The column itself features fluting — vertical grooves characteristic of the classical order.
Such architectural details were particularly popular during the period of eclecticism and Art Nouveau of the late 19th to early 20th century, when decorative elements were actively used to embellish urban facades. These mascarons (decorative faces) often symbolized various allegorical figures or mythological characters and gave buildings special expressiveness and artistic value.
