"Odalisque Allongée" is an oil painting by the American artist Frederick Arthur Bridgman, known for his Orientalist works. Bridgman, born in 1847 in Tuskegee, Alabama, and passing away in 1928, was a prolific painter who found inspiration in North African and Middle Eastern subjects after extensive travels in the region. The term "odalisque" refers to a female slave or concubine in a harem, particularly within the Ottoman Empire, and was a popular subject in 19th-century European art, symbolizing exotic beauty and sensuality.

The painting "Odalisque Allongée" depicts a reclining female figure, luxuriously adorned and positioned against a richly textured background that suggests the opulent interior of a harem. Bridgman's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns of the textiles and the ornamental elements surrounding the figure. The work is characteristic of Orientalist art, where Western artists portrayed their imagined concepts of Eastern life, often blending fantasy with observations from their travels.

Bridgman's portrayal of the odalisque is both a product of its time and a testament to his skill as a painter. The work reflects the fascination with the exotic and the "Other" that was prevalent among European and American audiences in the late 19th century. While the painting may be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and technical mastery, it is also a subject of critique and analysis within the context of postcolonial studies, which examine the cultural implications of such depictions.

"Odalisque Allongée" is part of Bridgman's extensive oeuvre that contributed to the Orientalist movement in Western art. His works are held in various collections and have been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums, offering insight into the historical perspectives and artistic trends of his era.
