Viennese cold painted bronze Orientalist camel group by Bergman

This fine figurative bronze sculpture is by the famed Viennese craftsman Franz Xaver Bergman. The type of work is often known as cold-painted bronze, or Viennese bronze, and subjects produced in this manner are typically Orientalist in nature. The present cold-painted bronze depicts a camel and camel rider: both are naturalistically rendered, with the camel a fine piece of animalier sculpture, demonstrating an active and expressive posture. The piece is cold painted with vibrant pigments.

The bronze is marked for Bergman.
