Portrait of Antonino Calcagnadoro is a 1939 oil by Moustafa Farroukh, a Orientalism work, held at Sursock Museum.
This painting is a portrait of a man with a distinctive mustache and round glasses. He is wearing a dark jacket and a white collared shirt, and he has a pipe in his mouth. The background of the painting is a muted brown color. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the subject's features and clothing. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up chiaroscuro.
