The painting "North African Courtyard" by Frederick Arthur Bridgman, dated approximately 1879, portrays a serene courtyard scene. In the foreground, a man on horseback, garbed in traditional North African attire, is presumably in conversation with another figure who appears to be greeting him or providing assistance. The courtyard is richly decorated with Moorish architectural elements, including arched doorways and a balcony with intricate wooden railings. The walls are adorned with tiles and ornamental details, characteristic of North African design. Lush vegetation, including a citrus tree, rose bushes, and various potted plants, adds to the ambiance of a peaceful, private space. A second horse, saddled and unmounted, stands to the side, while in the background, another individual engages in a task beside the entrance. The scene is set under a clear sky, suggesting a tranquil moment in the daily life of the courtyard's inhabitants.
