Fellah 1922

"Fellah" is a graphite drawing by Russian artist Ivan Bilibin, created in 1922. It depicts a close-up portrait of a man with a long beard and a traditional head covering. The subject's gaze is directed slightly downward, conveying a sense of contemplation or weariness. The artist's use of delicate shading and meticulous detail captures the texture of the subject's skin, beard, and clothing, creating a realistic and intimate portrait. The drawing is a testament to Bilibin's skill as a draftsman and his ability to portray the human form with sensitivity and depth.
