Artsonline has dated this Cold Painted Bronze Sculpture to the 1900s.
Brief Description:
A wonderfully evocative Orientalist composition, the figure is portrayed wearing traditional flowing robes and a headdress, holding a long rifle across his body whilst raising one hand to shield his eyes as he surveys the distant horizon.
The bronze displays fabulous attention to detail throughout, particularly to the camel's wonderfully modelled features, harness and reins, together with the intricate folds of the rider's robes and his beautifully detailed rifle.
The surviving cold-painted and gilt decoration gives the piece enormous character, with rich golden tones contrasting beautifully against the darker patinated bronze.
Works of this nature became particularly fashionable during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with Franz Xavier Bergman (1861–1936) becoming internationally renowned for producing some of the finest and most desirable Austrian Orientalist bronzes of the period.
The subject matter is quintessentially Bergman, capturing the fascination with North Africa and the Middle East that inspired many of the celebrated Viennese bronze foundries.
A magnificent and extremely decorative collector's piece that displays beautifully from every angle.
It is also signed by the Bergman factory - see images.
Perfect for an antique desk, library, study, gentleman's office or as a statement piece within a fine collection of Orientalist works of art.
