About the Item

Cold-painted bronze Franz Xaver Bergmann was a Viennese sculptor celebrated for his cold-painted bronzes of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His work is known for refined casting, rich surface detail, and a wide range of decorative and figurative subjects. This sculpture reflects the Art Nouveau fascination with movement, ornament, and subtle eroticism. The hinged skirt introduces an element of interaction, aligning the figure with Bergmann’s tradition of craftsmanship combined with wit and visual intrigue. Bergman used the ‘cold painted’ technique, whereby cast bronzes were decorated in several layers of polychrome ‘dust paint.’ These layers were not fired to fix them to the bronzes, hence they are ‘cold painted.’ E.
