A captivating Austrian cold-painted bronze sculpture that presents a female figure in oriental attire, gracefully holding a stylized palm frond. The figure stands poised upon a meticulously detailed carpet, showcasing intricate patterns and a rich color palette. This striking tableau rests on a rectangular base which bears the incised signature 'Nam Greb', a known pseudonym for the esteemed Viennese foundry owner Franz Xaver Bergmann, along with his distinctive foundry mark on the reverse.
Bergmann (1861–1936) was celebrated for his diverse production of patinated and cold-painted bronzes, encompassing orientalist subjects and whimsical animal figures, establishing a notable presence in early 20th-century decorative arts. The skillful casting and delicate cold-painting technique highlight the textures of the garments and the verdant hues of the palm, creating a compelling study in form and color.
