Title not known (Abbu 2)

Seated woman with hat and book

This simple portrait by Faraj Abbu is one of soft beauty representing a fairly straightforward subject matter: a woman seated in a white dress holding a hat and a book. The expression on the young woman’s face is that of neutrality as she gazes off the picture plane. She exhibits a relaxed posture and, although nothing in the background signifies a locale, it looks as if she has just come in from an afternoon of reading in the sun.

Faraj Abbu
