Portrait of Hussein Mahmoud Al-Hajj Darwich is a 1939 watercolor by Moustafa Farroukh, depicting Clothing, held at Sursock Museum.
This painting shows a man's face, looking directly at the viewer. He wears a white headscarf wrapped around his head, with a dark band holding it in place. His mustache is neatly trimmed. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to hold a quiet intensity. The artist has used watercolor paint to create a sense of depth and texture in the subject's clothing. The artist who created this portrait is Moustafa Farroukh.
Moustafa Farroukh (Arabic: مصطفى فروخ; 1901 – 1957) was one of Lebanon's most prominent painters of the 20th century.
