About this work

This painting shows an old wooden door set into a stone building. The door is slightly ajar, and a tree grows beside it. The scene is depicted in muted colors, with the door and building in shades of brown and gray, and the tree's leaves in green. A quiet detail is the way the light catches the texture of the stone and wood, giving the scene a sense of depth and realism. Look up more paintings by Moustafa Farroukh.
