The image showcases an elegant arched window in the Art Nouveau style, forming part of a building facade. The window is designed in a semi-circular shape with wooden frames in a rich reddish-brown color, creating a harmonious contrast with the light-colored stucco wall. The upper part of the window is adorned with a decorative stucco element in the form of a floral garland or wreath, which is a characteristic motif in early 20th century architecture.
Compositionally, the window is integrated into the facade where the lower part of the building is faced with irregular natural stone, creating a textural contrast with the smooth surface of the upper section. The architectural solution demonstrates a combination of functionality and decorative aesthetics: the semi-circular shape of the window not only provides abundant natural light to the interior space but also serves as an expressive element of the exterior. The window opening has a complex division: the central part consists of rectangular sections, while the side and upper parts follow the curve of the arch, emphasizing the fluidity of lines.
In the upper transom, an ornamental stained glass or glass engraving is noticeable, adding sophistication to the entire composition and indicating the architect's attention to detail. Such windows were often found in wealthy mansions and public buildings of the Art Nouveau period and represent an excellent example of the combination of architectural plasticity and decorative art from the beginning of the last century.
