This miniature Viennese bronze sculpture, created circa 1900–1920 in Austria, exemplifies the intimate scale and refined execution of so-called 'tabletop bronzes.' Depicting a reclining nude woman in a naturalistic pose, the work is firmly rooted in early modernist and Art Nouveau traditions. Cast entirely in bronze, its warm, golden-brown tone and semi-gloss finish highlight the precise anatomical modeling and fine details—from the subtle facial expression to the individually rendered fingers, toes, and nails. The patina is even, with gentle tonal transitions emphasizing the contours of the form. The surface remains smooth, with only minor textural variations typical of bronze casting. Signed on the reverse, this piece attests to its authenticity and connection to the Bergman school, renowned for mastery in Viennese miniature bronzes. Dimensions: height 4.5 cm, length 15.5 cm, width 8 cm. Condition: excellent—no signs of damage, restoration, or significant wear. This miniature figure tells the story of the turn of the 20th century—a time when Viennese Secession searched for harmony between nature and art. Its fluid lines and gentle modeling evoke an era when artists found beauty in everyday life, celebrating sensuality and individuality. The bronze surface catches the light like a still pool, while the woman's delicate profile conjures the atmosphere of Viennese salons, where such miniatures offered a subtle touch of refinement.
