Known for his mastery of the cold-painted technique, Bergmann rendered the mouse in an attentive pose, with finely patinated fur and red glass bead eyes, giving it a lifelike quality. The piece has a stamp on the bottom that reads "GESCHUTZT DEPOSE." This means "Protected Registered" in German, indicating that the design or pattern is registered and protected by copyright or trademark. A prominent figure in Vienna’s art scene, Bergmann (1861–1936) was celebrated for his diverse bronzes, ranging from Oriental figures to whimsical animals. This mouse figurine highlights his talent for capturing natural charm in miniature, reflecting the era’s artistic sensibilities and his meticulous craftsmanship.
