Crafted in early 20th-century Austria and attributed to Franz Bergmann, this cold-painted bronze sculpture depicts a Persian warrior poised in a commanding stance. The figure is rendered with meticulous detail, wearing a turban and a draped garment secured by a belt adorned with small polychrome plaques, while a curved dagger rests prominently against his chest. His hands firmly grasp a long ceremonial spear, complemented by an attached beaded chain. The richly patinated bronze captures subtle tonal variations, while the cold-painted accents enhance the ornamental textures of the attire and weaponry. The warrior stands atop a base simulating an intricately detailed Oriental carpet, its vibrant geometric patterns and borders skillfully painted to evoke the refined aesthetics of Bergmann’s Orientalist repertoire, blending Art Déco elegance with the intricate romanticism of exotic subjects.
