This charming bronze sculpture depicts an anthropomorphic cat, exemplifying the whimsical style of Franz Xavier Bergmann's work. Bergmann was the owner of a viennese foundry from the late 19th to early 20th century known for producing imaginative animal figures, often humanized with accessories and gestures.
The small patinated and cold-painted bronze portrays a cat standing upright on its hind legs. It leans on a crutch with its left arm and holds a hat in its right paw in a begging gesture. Such humorous and humanized animal figures were popular during the Belle Époque, when Art Nouveau and decorative arts flourished across Europe.
Encapsulating Bergmann's playful approach to bronze figurines, this cat sculpture provides a glimpse into the early 20th century viennese art world.
