Monomad challenge - BW - facade ornaments and sculptures

I'm participating in the #monomad challenge with this post.

Title: BW - Facade ornaments and sculptures

The majority of the structures in the city's center were constructed between the end of the 19th century and the start of the 20th century. During that time, these areas saw the expansion of Vienna's Art Nouveau architectural and cultural style. Therefore, this architectural style is used in the construction of the majority of these structures. Their facades are adorned with many sculptures and an extensive amount of ornamentation, mainly with floral themes.

People sculptures are often life-size, authentically rendered, and situated above windows or terraces on the street side of buildings. Without a doubt, the greatest artists of that time created them. The proportion of sculptures featuring adults and children is about equal.

While some of these sculptures need to be rebuilt, several still stand the test of time. The owners or users of the structures devise various solutions because it is difficult to find qualified craftsmen and artists who can handle this sort of reconstruction. Using inexpensive chicken wire might be one method of securing the sculpture.
