Franz Bergmann, Egyptian Woman w/ Pitcher, Vienna Bronze Sculpture, Ca. 1900
About the Item
Artist: Franz Xaver Bergmann
Sculpture: Egyption Peasant Woman Carrying Water Pitcher
This provocative Austrian Art Nouveau/Jugenstil sculpture of a beautiful semi-dressed
Egyptian peasant woman carrying a water pitcher on her head is created in polychrome cold-painted bronze, and rendered in the best traditions of the world-famous Viennese foundry of Franz Xaver Bergmann.
Period: Ca. 1900
Style: Jugenstil/Orientalist
Medium: Viennese Cold-Painted Bronze
Dimensions: H: 12.75” x W: 4.25” x D: 4.25”
Markings: Marked on the base with a "B" in an urn-shaped cartouche (for “Bergmann”),
model number 3066, and “GESHUTZED” (German: “PROTECTED).
Condition: The quality of the casting is superb, as well as the superb cold-painted surfaces.
The sculpture retains original bright colors and original patina.
Artist: Franz Xaver Bergmann (1861–1936) was the owner of a Viennese foundry who produced numerous patinated and cold-painted bronze oriental, erotic and animal figures, the latter often humanized or whimsical, humorous objects d'art. Cold painted bronze refers to pieces cast in Vienna and then decorated in several layers with so-called dust paint; the expertise for the mix of this kind of paint has been lost. The color was not fired hence "cold painted". Mainly women working at home, a typical cottage industry, carried out the painting. Noted for his detailed and colorful work, Bergmann was signing his creations with either a "B" in an urn-shaped cartouche, or "Nam Greb" - for "Bergman" in reverse. These marks used to disguise his identity on the erotic works. Often, the sculptures are also marked with model number and stamped “GESHUTZED” (German for “PROTECTED”).
