"The Orange Seller" is an Orientalist painting by the American artist Frederick Arthur Bridgman (1847–1928), who was known for his depictions of North African and Middle Eastern scenes. Bridgman, a student of the renowned French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, was influenced by the Orientalist movement, which gained prominence in the 19th century as European artists became increasingly fascinated with the cultures of the East.

The painting portrays a young woman, presumably from North Africa or the Middle East, engaged in the act of selling oranges. She is typically depicted in an exotic setting that reflects the Western perception of Eastern environments during the period. The composition focuses on the figure of the woman, who is often adorned with traditional clothing and jewelry, emphasizing the cultural and aesthetic allure that Orientalist artists sought to capture.

Bridgman's work is characterized by its attention to detail, vibrant color palette, and the interplay of light and shadow, which he used to enhance the exoticism and romantic appeal of his subjects. "The Orange Seller" exemplifies these qualities, showcasing Bridgman's skill in rendering textures and materials, from the softness of the fabrics to the translucence of the orange peels.

The painting is a reflection of the period's colonial attitudes and fascination with "the other," as well as the romanticized and sometimes stereotypical portrayal of Eastern cultures by Western artists. As with many Orientalist works, "The Orange Seller" can be viewed within the context of its time, offering insight into the perceptions and artistic trends of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

"The Orange Seller" is part of Bridgman's extensive oeuvre of Orientalist paintings, which contributed to his international reputation during his lifetime. His works are held in various collections and have been exhibited in prominent institutions, continuing to attract scholarly attention for their artistic merit and as subjects of cultural and historical discussion.
