Paris in the Rain is a 1939 oil by Moustafa Farroukh, a Orientalism work, depicting Building, held at Sursock Museum.
This painting shows a rainy city street lined with buildings. The street is filled with cars, and a streetlight stands on the left. The sky is gray and cloudy. The painting's use of color and light creates a sense of gloominess, fitting for a rainy day. The artist's brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look.
