From the collection of Sursock Museum
A Kurdish Porter is a 1939 oil by Moustafa Farroukh, depicting Coif, held at Sursock Museum.
This painting depicts a man with a mustache, wearing a white shirt and a yellow headband. The subject's face is the main focus of the artwork, with the background blurred into shades of brown and green. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting, with the subject's face and clothing standing out against the muted background. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought. The Sursock Museum is home to many important works of art, including this one.
Moustafa Farroukh (Arabic: مصطفى فروخ; 1901 – 1957) was one of Lebanon's most prominent painters of the 20th century.
