This painting shows a man with a white beard and turban, holding a crutch in his right hand. He wears a traditional robe, and his expression is serious. The man's face is the focal point of the painting, with his eyes cast downward. His turban is wrapped tightly around his head, and his beard is long and white. The crutch he holds is made of wood and has a simple design. The painting is a portrait of a Druze Sheikh, created by Moustafa Farroukh. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Moustafa Farroukh.
