"Women Drawing Water from the Nile" is an Orientalist painting by the American artist Frederick Arthur Bridgman (1847–1928). Bridgman, who was known for his detailed and romanticized depictions of North African and Middle Eastern life, created this work during a period when Western artists were fascinated by the exoticism of the East, a fascination that was part of the larger Orientalist movement in 19th-century art and literature.

The painting portrays a group of women, presumably Egyptian, at the banks of the Nile River. They are engaged in the daily task of drawing water, an activity that has been central to the sustenance of Nile riverine communities since ancient times. The women are depicted in traditional attire, with a focus on their grace and the flowing lines of their garments, which reflect Bridgman's attention to detail and his ability to capture the textures of fabric and the interplay of light and shadow.

Bridgman's work is characterized by its academic style and often includes archaeological and ethnographic elements, which he studied during his extensive travels in North Africa. "Women Drawing Water from the Nile" is no exception, as it showcases his skill in rendering the human figure and his careful observation of cultural practices. The painting is a testament to Bridgman's role in popularizing Orientalist imagery in the United States and Europe, and it contributes to the visual record of 19th-century perceptions of the East.

The exact date of creation for "Women Drawing Water from the Nile" is not specified, but it falls within Bridgman's most productive period, when he created numerous works inspired by his travels. The painting is part of a larger body of Bridgman's work that helped define American Orientalist art in the late 19th century. As with many Orientalist works, Bridgman's painting can be viewed through a contemporary lens that considers the implications of depicting Eastern subjects through a Western gaze, a topic of ongoing discussion in art historical scholarship.

"Women Drawing Water from the Nile" is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been exhibited in various art exhibitions focusing on Orientalist art. The painting continues to be of interest to scholars, art collectors, and the general public for its artistic merit and as a cultural artifact from a bygone era of American and European engagement with the East.
