Portrait of a Bedouin Woman is a 1939 oil by Moustafa Farroukh, a Orientalism work, depicting Turban, held at Sursock Museum.
This painting depicts a woman with a turban and a tattoo on her chin. She is dressed in dark clothing, with a subtle expression on her face. The background is a muted color, which helps to focus attention on the woman. The artist has used oil paint to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The woman's turban is rendered in intricate detail, and her facial expression is nuanced and expressive. The Sursock Museum is home to this painting, and it is a great place to learn more about the artist's work and techniques.
Moustafa Farroukh (Arabic: مصطفى فروخ; 1901 – 1957) was one of Lebanon's most prominent painters of the 20th century.
