About the Item

Crouching faun kneeling on one leg with outstretched arms, holding an apple in his right hand and looking to the side with a smile; opposite him, a naked woman lying on her side in a curled-up position, propped up on one elbow with her hands clasped around her head. Bergmann's mark on the underside of both figures. Excellent and detailed quality of workmanship, as is typical of Viennese bronze art. By: Vienna Bronze Manufactory Bergmann Franz Xaver Bergmann (also: Bergman, 1861–1936) was the owner of the Viennese foundry, which produced numerous patinated and cold-painted oriental, erotic and animal bronze figures, some with human features, as well as bizarre and humorous works of art. Known for his detailed and colorful work and the signature either a 'B' in an urn-shaped cartridge or 'Nam Greb' - 'Bergman' in reverse order. These characters were used to disguise his identity on erotic works. His father Franz Bergmann was a professional hunter from Gablonz/Bohemia, who came to Vienna and founded a small bronze factory in 1860. His son Franz Xaver Bergmann inherited the company and opened a new foundry in 1900. Many of the bronzes from the 1900s were still based on designs from his father's workshop.
