Description: A fine cold painted polychrome cast bronze of a pheasant by Foundry owner Franz Xaver Bergmann (1861-1936). Born in Vienna, Austria, Bergmann inherited his father’s foundry business, opening a new foundry in 1900. Many of the bronzes from the 1900s were still based on designs from his fathers workshop. His foundry produced numerous patinated and cold-painted bronze Oriental, erotic and animal figures, the latter often humanized or whimsical, humorous objects d'art. Noted for his detailed and colorful work, commonly signed with a 'B' in an urn-shaped cartouche. This bronze of a pheasant is signed on the tail and stamped on the body as well. Probably dates to the early 20th century and is in very good overall condition, with minor tail loss, minor high point paint losses, and other imperfections and wear commensurate with age and use. Dimensions: Approximately 8 ½” H x 19 ½” W x 4” D.
