"The Peacock Fan" is an oil painting by American artist Frederick Arthur Bridgman, known for his Orientalist works. This painting depicts a woman from the Middle East in traditional garb, holding a peacock feather fan. Bridgman’s work often explored themes of exoticism and beauty, and this piece exemplifies his fascination with Eastern culture and his skilled use of color and light to create a sense of depth and intimacy. The woman's pensive expression and rich attire suggest a life of luxury and intrigue, drawing the viewer into her world of Eastern mystery.
