Frederick Arthur Bridgman was an Orientalist artist who hailed from Tuskegee, Alabama, designed paper currency for a period in New York, studied under Jean-Léon Gérôme in Paris, and became known as the “American Gérôme.” The expert detail and the polished finish of this painting "By the City Gate" make it emblematic of this consummate artist.
