"A North African Courtyard" is an oil painting by the American artist Frederick Arthur Bridgman (1847–1928), who was known for his Orientalist works. Bridgman, a student of the French history painter and sculptor Jean-Léon Gérôme, was deeply influenced by Gérôme's style and subject matter. Bridgman traveled extensively in North Africa, particularly in Algeria, where he was inspired by the local culture, landscapes, and light. His experiences in North Africa greatly influenced his artistic output, leading to the creation of numerous works depicting scenes from the region.

"A North African Courtyard" is emblematic of Bridgman's fascination with the exotic and picturesque aspects of North African life. The painting typically features a detailed and vibrant portrayal of a courtyard scene, possibly within a domestic or religious setting. It is characterized by its rich color palette, intricate architectural details, and the interplay of light and shadow, which was a hallmark of Bridgman's work. The composition likely includes figures in traditional North African attire, engaged in daily activities, which adds to the authenticity and ethnographic interest of the piece.

As with many of Bridgman's paintings, "A North African Courtyard" would have been created during or after his travels in the region, reflecting both his direct observations and his idealized vision of North African culture. The work is part of a broader genre of Orientalist art that was popular in the 19th century among European and American artists and collectors, who were captivated by the perceived exoticism of the East.

While the exact date of creation, dimensions, and current location of "A North African Courtyard" are not specified here, Bridgman's works are generally well-documented, with many held in prestigious public and private collections. His paintings are appreciated for their technical skill and contribution to the Orientalist movement, even as contemporary perspectives critically assess Orientalist art for its romanticized and often stereotypical portrayal of Eastern societies.
