The image showcases an exquisite example of a decorative door portal executed in a style that combines elements of neo-romanticism and art nouveau. The building's facade is clad with roughly dressed sandstone blocks, creating a textural foundation for the richly adorned doorway.
The central element of the composition is a wooden double door with four panels and circular decorative rosettes in the upper part of each door. The wood has a noble brown shade with pronounced texture, highlighting the craftsmanship involved.
Above the door sits a three-part window with an expressive stained glass inspired by Van Gogh's "Starry Night," creating a remarkable artistic accent within the overall facade composition. The stained glass with its turquoise, blue, and yellow tones particularly contrasts with the monochromatic stonework.
The architectural framing of the door portal is of special interest. On both sides are massive stone pilasters with finely crafted ornamental relief featuring spirals and floral motifs. The upper part of the portal is crowned with a semicircular arch with a central decorative element resembling a stylized lyre or vase with volutes.
Of particular value is the contrast between the rough texture of the wall and the sophisticated detailing of the carved decor, demonstrating the high mastery of stonemasons. The overall composition reflects the architect's desire to create an impressive entrance portal, emphasizing the significance of the building through the richness of decorative elements.
