Portrait of Amin Al-Rihani is a 1939 oil by Moustafa Farroukh, depicting Man, held at Sursock Museum.
The painting is a portrait of a man with grey hair, wearing a suit and tie. He has a moustache and is looking directly at the viewer. The background is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be gazing into the distance. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The use of light and shadow adds to the overall mood of the portrait.
