From the collection of Sursock Museum
Souq Al-Gharb is a 1939 watercolor by Moustafa Farroukh, depicting Cloud, held at Sursock Museum.
The painting depicts a hillside with a house and trees. The house is light-colored with a red roof, and it's surrounded by trees, including a large one in the foreground. There's a fence on the left side of the painting, and the sky is blue with white clouds. The artist used watercolor paint to create the image, which gives it a soft, dreamy quality. The colors are muted, with shades of green, brown, and gray dominating the palette.
