"A Seated Woman 'Zoehhra', 1874" is a painting by the American artist Frederick Arthur Bridgeman (1847–1928), known for his Orientalist works. Bridgeman, who spent much of his career in France, was a student of the renowned academic painter Jean-Léon Gérôme and often depicted scenes from North Africa and the Middle East, capturing the local customs, costumes, and landscapes with a blend of romanticism and realism.

Created in 1874, "A Seated Woman 'Zoehhra'" exemplifies Bridgeman's fascination with exotic subjects and his skill in rendering textures and fabrics. The painting portrays a woman named Zoehhra, seated in a relaxed, yet dignified posture, surrounded by an array of rich textiles and intricate architectural details that suggest an interior setting in the Islamic world. Her attire and accessories are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting Bridgeman's commitment to authenticity and his access to genuine garments and props, which he collected during his travels.

The artwork is significant for its contribution to the Orientalist movement in Western art, which was characterized by European and American artists' depictions of the East as a place of beauty, mystery, and sensuality. While these works were popular in the 19th century, they are also critiqued by modern scholars for their role in perpetuating stereotypes and for their colonialist perspectives.

"A Seated Woman 'Zoehhra'" is part of Bridgeman's broader body of work that helped shape Western perceptions of the East during a time of increased cross-cultural encounters. The painting is not only a testament to Bridgeman's artistic talents but also serves as a historical document reflecting the complex interplay between art, culture, and politics during the late 19th century.
