This painting depicts a woman sitting in a chair, her right elbow resting on the armrest and her chin propped on her right hand. She is wearing a green dress and a black vest with gold embroidery, and has a green headscarf tied around her head. A book lies open on her lap. The woman's expression is contemplative, and her gaze is directed slightly to the left of the viewer. The background of the painting is a muted color, which helps to focus attention on the woman's face and figure. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's face and hands. Next, explore the artist Moustafa Farroukh.
