Emir Bashir and Sheikh Nasif al-Yaziji at Beiteddine Palace is a 1939 oil by Moustafa Farroukh, a Orientalism work, depicting Orientalist Painting, held at Sursock Museum.
This painting shows two men standing in a grand, arched hallway. The man on the left wears a red turban and a dark robe, while the man on the right has a white beard and wears a black robe with a red head covering. They are surrounded by other people, but they are the main focus. The hallway has tall, arched doorways and windows, with intricate carvings on the walls. The painting is done in oil, with visible brushstrokes giving it a textured look. The painting is held at the Sursock Museum, and it's a great example of an orientalist painting.
