Un Kurde de Bagdad 1931

"Un Kurde de Bagdad" is a 1931 drawing by Russian-French artist Alexandre Jacovleff (1887-1938). This portrait depicts a man wearing traditional Kurdish clothing, a testament to Jacovleff's interest in depicting the people and cultures of the Middle East. The artwork uses bold, expressive lines and vibrant colors to bring the subject to life, capturing a sense of dignity and individuality. The man's gaze is directed away from the viewer, adding to the sense of mystery and intrigue. Jacovleff's work often showcased the beauty and diversity of Eastern cultures, and "Un Kurde de Bagdad" exemplifies his ability to capture both the physical appearance and the inner spirit of his subjects.
