"Study of a Relief of the Head of the God Amun in the Temple of Seti I, Abydos, 1874" is a notable artwork by the American artist Frederick Arthur Bridgman (1847–1928). Bridgman, who was known for his Orientalist paintings, created this study during one of his travels to Egypt, a country that greatly influenced his artistic oeuvre. The work is a detailed examination of the ancient relief of Amun, one of the most powerful and widely worshipped deities in ancient Egyptian religion, whose image was carved into the stone walls of the Temple of Seti I at Abydos.

Created in 1874, the study reflects Bridgman's attention to historical accuracy and detail, which was characteristic of his approach to Orientalist art. The Temple of Seti I, constructed in the 13th century BCE, was dedicated to the cult of the pharaoh Seti I and the worship of a triad of deities: Osiris, Isis, and Horus, with Amun also receiving significant attention. Bridgman's work captures the intricate craftsmanship of the original relief, showcasing his skill in rendering textures and the interplay of light and shadow.

The artwork serves as both a piece of fine art and a visual document of the time, providing insight into the European fascination with Egyptology during the 19th century. Bridgman's study is an example of how Western artists of the period engaged with and interpreted the cultural heritage of Egypt, often blending artistic exploration with elements of documentation and scholarship.

As a part of Bridgman's broader body of work, "Study of a Relief of the Head of the God Amun in the Temple of Seti I, Abydos, 1874" contributes to our understanding of the Orientalist movement and the ways in which Western artists represented Eastern subjects. The piece is significant for its historical context, its representation of Egyptian art and religion, and its place within the genre of Orientalist painting.
