1932
watercolor
From the collection of Sursock Museum
A Druze from the Chouf is a 1932 watercolor by Moustafa Farroukh, depicting Coat, held at Sursock Museum.
This painting shows a man sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a stick in his right hand. He's wearing a striped coat over a dark shirt and pants, and a white turban on his head. The background is a soft, muted landscape with trees and bushes. The man's face is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking off into the distance. His clothing and the stick he's holding suggest that he might be from a rural or traditional community. The artist used watercolor paint to create this image, which is held at the Sursock Museum. If you're interested in learning more about watercolor techniques, you might want to look into glazing, a method that involves applying multiple thin layers of transparent paint to achieve a deep, rich color.
Moustafa Farroukh (Arabic: مصطفى فروخ; 1901 – 1957) was one of Lebanon's most prominent painters of the 20th century.
