"Vienna Bronze Signed And Numbered, Franz Bergman, Late 19th Century"
Vienna bronze, signed and numbered by the famous founder Franz Bergman (1838-1894), dated to the end of the 19th century. This finely chiseled sculpture represents a camel driver in a djellaba guiding a richly harnessed camel laden with baskets and amphorae. The realistic details, both in the drapery and in the texture of the animal, testify to the exceptional know-how of the Bergman workshop, renowned for its orientalist polychrome bronzes. A rare collector's item, emblematic of Viennese art of the late 19th century.
