The photograph shows a fragment of a brick facade with interesting architectural details. The primary material is red brick, which forms a neat masonry pattern and creates a warm, rich background. In the upper part of the frame, there is a semi-circular window with an arched top, framed by white wedge-shaped stones. The window displays a graphic image of a sailing ship rendered as a blueprint drawing.
Below the window is a decorative element - a rectangular panel with the text initials "BAL," designed as a sort of heraldic emblem. The panel is adorned with a green garland of leaves and has copper or bronze elements, giving it a festive, ornate appearance. This element is framed by a white stone portal, which contrasts with the main brick facade.
The lower part of the composition is completed with another white semi-circular arch and a horizontal stone insert, creating a symmetrical and balanced composition. Such a combination of materials (red brick, white stone, greenery, and copper) is characteristic of architecture from the late 19th to early 20th century, when special attention was paid to decorative details and symbolic elements in the design of urban buildings.
