Formal Portrait in Graphite

Description

This graphite portrait presents a man in formal attire, rendered with careful shading and attention to facial detail. Strong contrasts define his expression, from the focused eyes and furrowed brow to the softly modeled cheeks and lips. The unfinished paper edges add an intimate, hand-drawn character to the piece. Displayed in a study, office, or gallery wall, it would bring a thoughtful artistic presence to your space.

Artist

I create intimate graphite and pencil-crayon portraits that capture thoughtful expressions, personal memories, and the quiet bonds between people and animals. Based in Heflin, Alabama, I draw with care and feeling.
