Orientalist Dancer, After Bergman Bronze Figurine

Orientalist Semi Nude Dancer, After Bergmann Bronze Sculpture on marble base, "Nam Greb" double Signed. Total Size: H 5.1/2" x D 3.1/2". About Artist: Franz Xaver Bergmann (or Franz Xaver Bergman) (July 27th 1861-1936) was the owner of a Viennese foundry who produced numerous patinated and cold-painted bronze Oriental, erotic and animal figures, the latter often humanized or whimsical, humorous objects d'art. Bergmann was noted for his detailed and colorful work. He signed with either a letter "B" in an urn-shaped cartouche or "Nam Greb" (Bergman' in reverse). These marks were used to disguise his identity on erotic works.
