The image shows a fragment of a building facade in the Art Nouveau style, adorned with an exquisite stucco decoration in the form of a stylized tree. This expressive element is positioned between two rows of arched windows on the light plastered surface of the wall.
The central stucco motif depicts an elongated tree-like plant with a lush crown at the top, resembling a stylized flowering tree or possibly a lily on a long stem. In the upper part of the composition, there are stylized floral elements, presumably tulips or lilies, characteristic of Art Nouveau's floral aesthetic. The relief details create an expressive play of light and shadow on the facade.
The architectural composition is complemented by a mascaron at the bottom, positioned on a triangular projection, which is a typical decorative element of Art Nouveau buildings. The combination of smooth, flowing organic forms with the geometry of window openings creates a harmony between structural elements and decorative design that is characteristic of this style.
This type of facade decoration was common in European architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and reflects the architects' aspiration of that time to create a holistic artistic image of a building using natural motifs and plastic forms.
