FOOTNOTES
Habib Srour was only ten years old when his parents moved to Rome. He studied there at the Institute of Fine Arts. In 1890 he finally returned to Beirut after a long stay in Egypt. He taught art at the Imperial Ottoman School of Bashoura and in his own studio which was located in the grounds of Alfred Sursock's house in Beirut.

Srour was much in demand as a portrait painter of important Lebanese and Arab personalities of the day, religious, social or political figures in the Ottoman Empire.
