Fine 19thC Franz Bergman Austrian Cold-Painted Bronze Orientalist Sculpture Brief Description: This is a fabulous and highly decorative 19th-century Austrian cold-painted bronze sculpture, attributed to the celebrated Franz Bergman (1861–1936), depicting a seated Orientalist scholar absorbed in his studies. This wonderfully intricate composition portrays a traditionally dressed gentleman seated beneath an elaborate architectural canopy, holding a manuscript and writing instrument. The beautifully detailed setting features ornate geometric latticework, richly patterned decorative panels, an elaborate pierced cresting and a stone-effect stepped base. A charming black and gilt miniature table completes this delightful Orientalist scene.
