A Barber, Morocco is a 1896 oil by Aloysius O'Kelly, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows a man sitting on the floor, with another man standing behind him. The seated man has his head bowed, and the standing man is holding a straight razor to his head. Both men are wearing white robes, and the background is dark and shadowy. The painting is done in oil paint, with visible brushstrokes and texture. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and contrast, with the light source coming from the left side of the painting. The painting is held at the National Gallery of Ireland.
