"Pig With A Cane Carrying Its Young - Vienna Bronze Late 19th/early 20th - Atelier Bergmann"
An astonishing and endearing bronze from Vienna depicting a pig standing, cane in hand, carrying its piglet. An anthropomorphic scene typical of late 19th century Viennese humor, full of tenderness and fantasy. This piece comes from the workshop of Franz Bergmann (amphora stamp “B”), famous for his polychrome animal bronzes of narrative charm and remarkable quality.
Viennese work circa 1900.
Bronze with polychrome patina (cold paint) showing some normal wear, indicative of its age.
