About the work

Two stylised women dressed in deep green sit side by side in a warmly geometric interior, sharing a quiet moment over coffee cups amid earthy orange and brown cubist forms. The composition balances bold angular shapes with softly rendered figures, conveying a sense of calm domestic intimacy.

About the artist

Hafez Al Droubi — Oil on Canvas, 84 × 66 cm (representative image)
Hafez Al Droubi

Iraq, b. 1914–1991

Hafez Al Droubi (1914–1991) was a pioneering Iraqi painter and a central figure in the development of modern art in Iraq. Born in Baghdad, Al Droubi studied art in Rome and London, absorbing European modernist influences that he later integrated with local themes and traditions. He was known for his versatility, working across mediums such as oil, watercolor, and drawing, and his style evolved from impressionism to cubism, often depicting scenes of Iraqi daily life, landscapes, and portraits. Al Droubi was instrumental in founding several art groups in Iraq, most notably the Impressionists Group, and played a significant role in art education as a professor and later as the Dean of the Institute of Fine Arts in Baghdad.

Al Droubi’s work has been featured in major institutional exhibitions, including retrospectives at the Iraqi Museum of Modern Art and participation in group shows that highlighted the evolution of Iraqi modernism. His paintings are held in the collections of prominent museums in Iraq and the Middle East. At auction, Al Droubi’s works have appeared at leading houses such as Christie’s and Bonhams, achieving notable results that reflect his enduring importance in the Arab art market. His legacy is marked by his commitment to fostering a uniquely Iraqi modernist identity and nurturing generations of artists in his homeland.

Oil

Pigment bound in oil, prized for its depth, luminosity, and slow drying that lets artists blend and build rich layers. The most enduring medium of modern painting, it remains central to the work of the region's leading modernists.

Cubism

A revolutionary early-twentieth-century approach that fractures objects into geometric planes and multiple viewpoints at once. Arab artists such as Jamil Hamoudi adapted its geometry to calligraphic and regional themes.
