The image showcases an exquisite fragment of a building façade executed in an eclectic style with Art Nouveau elements. The building demonstrates a rich architectural composition, where the main accent is a protruding bay window with a balcony. The bay window culminates in an expressive octagonal dome with black ribs creating a contrasting pattern against the light background.
The façade is distinguished by an abundance of decorative elements in classical style: cornices, columns with capitals, stucco garlands, and relief ornamentation. The central part of the bay window is adorned with a semi-circular balcony featuring an elegant wrought iron railing. Below the balcony, there is a massive decorative element resembling a shell or fan motif—characteristic of Art Nouveau architecture.
Particularly noteworthy is the contrast between the white plaster of the main façade and the decorative masonry with geometric patterns on the sides of the building. This cladding in yellow and blue tones gives the building a special character. The upper balcony is also adorned with wrought iron railings and complemented by live plants, adding organic quality and connecting the composition with nature.
Overall, the architectural solution reflects the pursuit of sophistication and detailing characteristic of the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, when various stylistic directions were actively developing in the architecture of luxurious urban mansions.
