About the Item

The key to this painting's charm is that the subject is a beautiful young woman who is showing her face. She lounges comfortably in a carpeted boat with a lute by her side, running her hands among the water lilies. Bridgman captures her in a peak magical moment of peace and joy. In the distance (upper left ) you can see the rough outline of a minaret and cityscape rendered in blue. The overall composition is perfectly balanced in keeping with the harmonious spirit of the scene as Bridgman's painting transports the viewer to a bygone era. Original stretchers and labels and titled on verso. Signature: Signed and faintly dated lower left Private Collection. Illene Susan Fort via a telephone conversation and photo of the work stated that she knows and is familiar with the work and it is by Bridgman. A similar Bridgman painting "Two young Algerians" just sold at Christie's for $345,000. It was of smaller dimensions and dipicted of two beauties one holding a lute and the other a drum.
