The photograph captures a magnificent example of early 20th-century Art Nouveau with elements of Neo-Gothic architecture. At the center of the composition are exquisite wrought iron gates with whimsical curves and scrolls, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style. The gates frame the entrance to the building's courtyard, creating an elegant transition between the street and private space.
The façade of the building on the left displays typical features of Art Nouveau architecture: flowing lines, decorative balconies with wrought iron railings, and gently curved bay windows. The brickwork of the façade with alternating light stripes creates a rhythmic pattern that enlivens the surface. Particularly noteworthy are the sculptural elements beneath the balconies – ornate corbels supporting the projecting parts of the façade.
In the depth of the courtyard, an impressive stained glass element can be seen in the form of a semicircular arch with a geometric pattern of metal and glass, resembling a fan-like structure. The walls of the surrounding structures are decorated with exquisite tiles forming a checkered pattern. On the right, one can see an arcade gallery that introduces a classical element to the overall eclectic composition.
A small stone pedestal or fountain in front of the gates with a decorative shell motif adds a finishing touch to this architectural ensemble that combines elements of various styles into a harmonious whole.
