The photograph shows a fragment of a historical building facade executed in an eclectic style with Neo-Renaissance elements. The facade is characterized by rich decorative ornamentation and symmetrical composition. The base consists of red brick, which contrasts with white decorative elements, creating a striking bichromatic palette.
The architectural composition of the facade includes three large window openings framed by elaborate casings. Each window has a semi-circular arch with radial glazing divisions. Above them are smaller rectangular windows with triangular pediments adorned with ornate stucco work in the tympanums.
The windows are separated by fluted pilasters with Corinthian capitals. The crowning cornice is richly decorated with brackets and modillions. Below the windows are balustrades with turned balusters. The facade gains particular expressiveness from the arched window headers with abundant stucco decoration and volutes.
This facade is an excellent example of ceremonial architecture from the second half of the 19th century, demonstrating virtuoso mastery of classical order system techniques combined with the decorative richness of eclecticism.
