Subject
Portrait of a man in a suit
Description
In this portrait, Faraj Abbu has painted the likeness of a man wearing a casual business suit. The man is rendered in such a way as to draw attention to his distinguished and formal persona. His facial expression is that of serious attention with his matching posture of erect alertness. He gazes directly out at the viewer with a stern yet inquisitive look. The softness of the background only serves to highlight the imposition of this notable man in his surrounding space.
