Fisherman Smoking A Cigarette 

"Fisherman Smoking A Cigarette" is a painting by Syrian artist Louay Kayyali (1934-1978). The painting depicts a seated fisherman, clad in a blue work suit, smoking a cigarette. The figure is rendered realistically against a simple backdrop of a yellow beach and a distant blue sea. The artist's use of sharp lines and bold colors creates a stark and somewhat melancholic mood, reflecting the fisherman's quiet solitude. This painting reflects Kayyali's interest in portraying the lives of ordinary people.
