The image showcases an exquisite entrance portal of a historic red brick building. The doorway is framed by an elegant gray classical-style portal with decorative elements. The door itself is finished in deep black, featuring four panels, a small mail slot at the bottom, and a brass handle.
Of particular interest is the semicircular transom window above the door, adorned with magnificent wrought iron grillwork with golden Art Nouveau-inspired decoration. The metalwork forms a stylized bird or flower shape with graceful curls, bringing a unique artistic element to the building's facade.
The portal is framed by pilasters with rich molding and floral motifs, culminating in decorative elements at the top. The gray color of the frame contrasts with the brick masonry of the facade, creating an expressive architectural accent. On the door, one can also notice a small diamond-shaped blue element and the house number "15," indicating the residential purpose of the building.
This doorway is an excellent example of the harmonious combination of classical architectural elements with decorative motifs from the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, where the severity of classical form is complemented by the elegance of Art Nouveau in the metallic details.
