1939
watercolor
From the collection of Sursock Museum
A Hawker in Beirut is a 1939 watercolor by Moustafa Farroukh, depicting Home, held at Sursock Museum.
The painting shows a man in a traditional outfit, crouching down. He's wearing a red hat and a long-sleeved shirt with vertical stripes. The man is holding a scale with a long handle, and there are tomatoes and other vegetables in a basket in front of him. The background is a blurry view of a house and some trees. The colors are mostly shades of brown and beige, with some red from the hat and the tomatoes. The overall atmosphere is quiet and peaceful. If you're interested in learning more about Middle Eastern art, you might want to look up the Sursock Museum.
