About this work

This 1879 painting by Frederick Arthur Bridgman, titled The Messenger, shows a richly furnished Oriental interior with a robed messenger addressing a bearded elder seated on a raised dais beside a child. A gazelle stands near a patterned rug, while a figure with a staff waits by a carved wooden door and others listen from a latticed balcony.
