Vienna Bronze Gallery presents:
A listed risqué
mechanical Austrian bronze, a true rarity from the Belle Époque.
The semi-nude woman
ties (or unties?) her left shoe placing her foot on a stool. While the skin parts
of the sculpture have a fine aged patina they painted the stool, the movable
skirt and the precious Persian rug.
You can lift her skirt and the innocent scene becomes a naughty one. Her
attractive behind and even more is revealed now. When you look closely you
will notice that the accurate Austrians created her anatomically correct.
