A Woman from the South is a 1939 oil by Moustafa Farroukh, depicting Face, held at Sursock Museum.
The painting depicts a woman wearing a white headscarf with a floral pattern, which covers her hair and neck. Her face is turned slightly to the left, and she gazes directly at the viewer with a neutral expression. She is dressed in a light pink garment, and the background of the painting is a dark brown color. The woman's facial features are rendered in detail, with a focus on her eyes and eyebrows. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought.
