A very large bronze model of a Bengal Tiger, Viennese, stamped for Franz Bergman

Description
A very large bronze model of a Bengal Tiger, Viennese, stamped for Franz Bergman
Austrian, Early 20th Century
Height 62cm, width 115cm
This striking monumental bronze tiger was produced in Vienna around the turn of the twentieth century in the popular cold-painted bronze technique. Whereas most examples of this theme are miniatures around 15cm in length, this colossal example at 115cm is well over a meter in length, making it a rare and possibly unique example of one of Franz Bergman's most recognisable and sought-after animal sculptural motifs. Bergman's work can generally be divided between Oriental, erotic, and animalia, with his animal sculptures generally playful and whimsical. This work therefore constitutes a rare departure: a sculpture purely intended to depict the power, presence, and majesty of an adult Royal Bengal tiger.
The tiger piece is stamped for Bergman and 'Geschutzt / Austria / 3353', with the familiar 'B' within a two-handled vase signature.
