Bronze Statue of a Snake Charmer
Franz Bergman
Early 20th Century
This captivating cold-painted bronze sculpture of a snake charmer is the work of the renowned Austrian sculptor Franz Bergman, known for his finely detailed and often provocative figurative bronzes. Crafted in early 20th-century Vienna, this exceptional work exemplifies the exoticism and eroticism for which Bergman is celebrated.
The dancer stands in a sensuous pose, her body fluidly arched as she lifts a coiled snake high above her head. The intricate modeling of her costume and the vivid polychrome of the cold-painted surface speak to the virtuosity of Bergman’s casting and finishing techniques. She stands atop a richly detailed bronze rug, draped over a circular base that anchors the composition.
Franz Bergmann, who signed many of his works “Nam Greb,” was known for his artfully suggestive bronzes. Always executed with intricate detail and beautifully cold-painted, these figures are among the most highly collectible antique erotic sculptures on the market.
Signed "Nam Greb"
