Portuguese term or phrase: painel exterior autónomo

desse período é também uma pintura a guache que apresenta o desenho de um edifício com um **painel exterior autónomo** que reproduz os motivos das composições geométricas

Hi, I'm having a hard time imagining what this might look like - I don't have an image of the work in question. The 'composições geométricas' refer to other, abstract works by the artist.

are there, in effect, two paintings? a painting within a painting?

English translation:a building with a mural painted on its (outside) wall

Explanation:
...which reproduces...
I think this is what is meant, in other words geometric designs from his other paintings are represented on the wall of the building in this painting. You may well need to rephrase.
