Hajj Hussein Beyhum is a 1939 oil by Moustafa Farroukh, depicting Beard, held at Sursock Museum.
The painting depicts a man with a beard, wearing a turban and a dark jacket over a white shirt with a floral pattern. The background is a muted brown color. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting is reminiscent of the work of other artists who have used this technique to create dramatic and expressive portraits. To learn more about this technique, you can look up the artist Moustafa Farroukh.
Moustafa Farroukh (Arabic: مصطفى فروخ; 1901 – 1957) was one of Lebanon's most prominent painters of the 20th century.
