The Rose

The artwork titled The Rose is a painting, created in 1887 by Frederick Arthur Bridgman. It is currently held at the Arnot Art Museum. The painting measures 0.61 meters in width and 0.92 meters in height.

The artwork depicts a scene in front of an ornate building with Arabic architectural elements. A woman, draped in a flowing teal robe, leans over an intricately carved stone balcony. She gazes down at a man on horseback below, a playful smile gracing her lips. The man, dressed in flowing robes and a green turban, stretches his arm upwards towards the woman, his face turned away from the viewer. A single red rose hangs in the air between them, seemingly tossed from the balcony. Two dogs, one brown and one black, stand in the street, looking up at the interaction with curiosity. The warm sunlight bathes the scene in a golden glow, highlighting the textures of the stone building and the vibrant colors of the clothing.
