Vienna Bronze Figurine - Cat Couple on a Boat Ride - Hand-Painted

Painted and stamped by hand, this Vienna Bronze cat couple is depicted during a romantic boat ride. The elaborately designed cats skilfully take on human behavioural patterns and hold each other tightly while they row along on a fictional lake. This humanisation of various animal species is characteristic for art works from the Vienna Bronze period. Cats, mice, dogs, pigs, foxes and frogs were put into situations of human everyday life, creating both humorous and yet decorative pieces that are immensely popular among collectors. Especially at the beginning of the 20th century, numerous abstract animal figurines were created in the many Viennese bronze manufactories, and they have been welcome guests in the show cases of many art enthusiasts to this day.

The Kunst & Ambiente Manufactory for Bronze Figurines and Sculptures relies on traditional ways of production and high quality standards. Produced via the lost wax technique and painted and stamped by hand, our bronze figurines are subject to strict controls.

The plastic arts of the Vienna Bronze period is characterised by a multifaceted selection of motifs and topics. Animals, blackamoors and Bedouins are just as much a part of this wide range of Vienna Bronze pieces as erotic figurines that range from tender eroticism to pornographic depictions. Elaborate paintings done by hand highlight the imaginative motifs and thereby create marvellous miniature bronze figurines.
