Full Description
This exquisite late 19th-century cold-painted bronze sculpture by Franz Bergman captures a moment of intimate revelation. The piece features a lady, adorned with intricate jewelry and a flowing cloak, being assisted by her attendant, who gently opens the garment to reveal her nudity. The figures are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing Bergman’s signature style. The lady’s serene expression contrasts with the attendant’s attentive posture, highlighting themes of beauty and vulnerability. Signed “Namgerb”—Bergman spelled backward—the sculpture exemplifies the artist’s mastery in blending sensuality with artistry, set upon an ornate base that enhances its elegance.
Franz Xavier Bergman was the owner of a Viennese foundry who produced numerous patinated and cold-painted bronzes, Oriental, erotic, and animal figures, the latter often humanized or whimsical, humorous objets d'art. 1861-1936
