By Franz Bergmann
Located in New York, NY
ABOUT SCULPTURE This great Austrian Jugenstil desk-size cold-painted and patinated bronze sculpture of English bulldog has all the necessary qualities to be loved by a new owner – it absolutely life-like and has very expressive eyes. DIMENSIONS Height 3.25 inches Width 2 7/16 inches Depth 5.5 inches MARKINGS Noted for his detailed and colorful work, Bergman was signing his creations with either a "B" in an urn-shaped cartouche, or "Nam Greb" - for "Bergman" in reverse (these marks used to disguise his identity on the erotic works). They are also often inscribed ‘Geschutzt’, which refers to the model/design being ‘registered’ or copyrighted; or not marked at all, especially if the pieces are miniatures.
