More about this artwork
Frederick Arthur Bridgman's evocative painting "The Glance" (1881) captivates viewers with its intimate and introspective portrayal of a woman adorned in rich, flowing garments. This artwork is a fine example of Bridgman's detailed attention to texture and light, characteristics that have enthralled art lovers and critics alike.In "The Glance," the subject is depicted with a poignant expression, her eyes slightly turned as if caught mid-thought or observing something just out of view. Her white headscarf, golden yellow robe, and the subtle hues of her undergarments are illuminated against the dark background, highlighting Bridgman’s skill in capturing the interplay of light on different textures. The painting's charm lies in its ability to convey a story purely through the subject's expressive glance and the radiant, tactile quality of her attire.This piece, reflecting Bridgman's fascination with North African and Eastern cultures, pulls the viewer into a narrative left to their imagination, prompted by the mysterious yet contemplative look of the woman.
