Original Description
The Portrait of Architect Mardiros Altounian by Moustafa Farroukh is a striking example of mid-20th-century Lebanese portraiture, blending realism with subtle modernist influences. Farroukh, a pioneer of Lebanese modern art, captures Altounian's dignified presence through meticulous attention to detail—the architect's introspective gaze, the refined lines of his suit, and the interplay of light and shadow reveal both his professional stature and personal depth. Painted against a muted, earth-toned background, the portrait exudes quiet sophistication, characteristic of Farroukh's ability to merge Western academic techniques with Levantine sensibilities. Historically significant, this work reflects Beirut's cosmopolitan art scene during the 1950s, bridging European traditions and emerging regional identities. Farroukh's legacy as a cultural chronicler elevates this piece beyond mere likeness, offering a window into Lebanon's artistic golden age.
For interior styling, this portrait would anchor a study or office with its timeless elegance. Choose a space with abundant natural light to accentuate its tonal depth, such as a wall flanked by floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in warm walnut. Complement its subdued palette with mid-century modern furniture—think leather Chesterfield chairs or a streamlined teak desk—to echo its era. A gallery-style brass frame would enhance its classic appeal, while a matte-black alternative could modernize the display. Ideal dimensions (approximately 24x36 inches) ensure prominence without overwhelming; hang it at eye level as a focal point above a console or behind a workspace. Pair with minimalist décor to let its narrative richness shine, or add vintage blueprints or geometric textiles for a curated, architecturally inspired vignette.
