About the Item

A very fine Austrian Bronze animalier bronze study of a standing red Grouse with excellent naturalistic cold painted colours and fine intricate detail, signed with the Bergman ‘B’ in an amphora vase ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Height: 21 cm Width: 20 cm Depth: 8 cm Circa: 1900 Foundry: Franz Bergman Foundry Materials: Cold Painted Bronze Book Ref: Antique Vienna Bronzes by Joseph Zobel Page No: 85 SKU: 9593 ABOUT Bergman Grouse Franz Bergman Sculptures Franz Bergman (1861–1936) was one of the most celebrated Viennese makers of cold-painted bronze sculptures, renowned for his highly detailed and often exotic subjects. Working in Vienna during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Bergman produced a wide range of figures that captured the imagination of collectors, combining fine casting with meticulous hand-applied colour. Cold painting, a technique in which pigments are applied directly onto the bronze surface rather than fired, allowed for remarkable realism and vibrancy. Bergman’s workshop became particularly known for its animalier subjects, including finely observed studies of cats, dogs, birds, and more unusual creatures such as reptiles. Lizards, frogs, snakes, and other small animals were rendered with striking accuracy, their textures and natural colouring carefully depicted through delicate brushwork. These pieces often conveyed a sense of liveliness and character, despite their modest scale. In addition to animals, Bergman also produced Orientalist figures, erotic subjects, and humorous compositions, many marked with the distinctive “B” in an urn-shaped cartouche. His work reflects both technical mastery and a fascination with storytelling through sculpture. Today, Bergman bronzes are highly sought after for their craftsmanship, condition of original paint, and variety of subject matter. Animal and reptile examples, in particular, are prized for their charm, naturalism, and decorative appeal, representing a unique fusion of sculpture and painting in early 20th-century Vienna.
