Schoorsteenmantel in de volkskamer op de begane grond van het stadhuis van Oudenaarde, België before 1887

This photograph, taken before 1887, depicts the elaborate fireplace of the "Salle de People" in the Oudenaarde City Hall, Belgium. The intricate stonework, including the carved figures and decorative detailing, exemplifies the rich architectural heritage of the region, and the fireplace serves as a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the anonymous artist. The Gothic elements, including pointed arches and the presence of figures, are indicative of the prevalent architectural style of the time.
