About The Sewing Lesson
The Sewing Lesson, is an early painting by Bridgman painted in the rigorous and precise style that sets it apart from his later, more loosely painted works. Bridgman arrived in Paris from America in 1866, entering the studio of Jean-Léon Gérôme at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts where he honed his skills and under whose tutelage he developed the pictorial idiom exemplified in paintings like the present work. After a trip to Algeria and Egypt in 1872, Bridgman turned his attention to North African subjects. The Sewing Lesson was painted soon after that first journey, the vivid colours and fabrics, and the scene itself, a reflection of Bridgman's fascination with, and empathy towards, the culture he experienced there.
