Irzal at Dhour El Choueir is a 1939 oil by Moustafa Farroukh, a Orientalism work, depicting Hill, held at Sursock Museum.
The painting depicts a tree house nestled in the branches of a tall tree, with a ladder leading up to it. The tree house is surrounded by several other trees, and the sky above is a soft blue. The scene is serene and peaceful, with the tree house appearing to be a cozy retreat. In the foreground, the tree trunks and branches are rendered in warm, earthy tones, while the sky above is a soft blue. The overall effect is one of tranquility and calmness. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artists who specialize in landscape and nature scenes. To learn more about the techniques used in this painting, look up the term "chiaroscuro".
Moustafa Farroukh (Arabic: مصطفى فروخ; 1901 – 1957) was one of Lebanon's most prominent painters of the 20th century.
