Vienna Bronze - Erotic Nude on Bear Rug – Bergmann Stamp

A classic image that is known from literature and films - the naked beauty on a bear rug during a cold winter night in front of a homely fireplace. This decorative erotic nude strikingly captivates this erotic scene in bronze and presents a cohesive composition of figurines that bears the exclusive Bergmann stamp. The bear rug, which serves as the basis for the motif, is very detailed and its fur structure is precisely recreated. The strongly structured surface stands in direct contrast to the smooth, golden female nude that is positioned on the bear rug. The naked, well-proportioned woman lies on her belly and dreamily supports her head with her left hand. The erotic Vienna bronze miniature is painted by hand and will undoubtedly be a treasure in any collection.

Our bronze figurines and sculptures are created in an elaborate process that features a lot of different stages of production. Our main production technique is the so-called lost wax technique, which is a tried-and-tested method when it comes to the production of bronze statues.

Erotic nudes, which are currently particularly sought-after by collectors, originated primarily during the late 19th and early 20th century. They are so-called small sculptures that were produced on a large scale by numerous Viennese bronze foundries. During that time, erotic figurines were just as in demand as small animal sculptures and statues depicting people from the Orient. One of the most famous representatives of the Vienna bronze period was Franz Bergmann.
