Watering the Horses 1921

Frederick Arthur Bridgman's 1921 painting "Watering the Horses" depicts a scene of an Arabian woman tending to her horses at a watering hole. The woman is dressed in traditional clothing and is standing next to the horses, one of which is drinking from the water. Bridgman, known for his Orientalist paintings, skillfully captures the warm colors and soft light of the desert landscape. This evocative work captures the tranquility of a simple moment, exemplifying Bridgman's ability to depict exotic scenes with a refined and delicate touch.
