Original Description
Moustafa Farroukh's Iqbal 'alieh, the Beautiful Beirutian is a captivating portrait that embodies the vibrant spirit of 20th-century Beirut. Painted in 1935, the artwork showcases Farroukh’s mastery of realism infused with subtle romanticism, depicting an elegant Lebanese woman whose poised demeanor and expressive gaze reflect both individual grace and cultural identity. The warm, earthy tones and delicate chiaroscuro highlight the subject’s dignified beauty, evoking nostalgia for Beirut’s golden age. As Lebanon’s pioneering modernist, Farroukh bridged European academic techniques with Middle Eastern themes, making this piece a significant artifact of Lebanon’s artistic heritage. Iqbal 'alieh not only celebrates feminine charm but also serves as a visual chronicle of a cosmopolitan Beirut, securing Farroukh’s legacy as a cultural icon in Arab art history.
For an ideal display, this painting would elevate a study, lounge, or executive office with its timeless sophistication. Its rich ochres and subdued blues harmonize beautifully with wood-toned furniture or muted, textured walls, while a gilded frame could accentuate its classic appeal. Positioning it as a focal point above a mid-century console or against dark green upholstery would enhance its warmth. A medium-to-large size (around 24×36 inches) ensures visibility without overwhelming the space. Pair it with brass accents, oriental rugs, or tapered lighting to evoke its era—or contrast it with minimalist decor for a bold dialogue between tradition and modernity. Whether in a private library or a corporate setting, Iqbal 'alieh lends historical depth and refined aesthetic balance.
