In this elegant pencil portrait, artist Yana Evans pays tribute to the legendary Sophia Loren, whose beauty and presence defined an era of cinema. The drawing takes inspiration from Loren’s 1959 film That Kind of Woman, directed by Sidney Lumet, a story of love and independence set against the backdrop of postwar America. Loren’s character, Kay, embodies both strength and tenderness, qualities that Evans translates into her finely detailed graphite rendering.
Executed with classical precision, the drawing showcases a balance of light and tone achieved through layered graphite and subtle crosshatching. Evans’ technique highlights every contour of the face, the sheen of pearls, and the airy folds of the polka-dot dress, creating a portrait that feels alive in its stillness. The wide hat frames the composition with quiet grandeur, echoing the timeless allure of 1950s portrait photography.
That Kind of Woman exemplifies Yana Evans’ signature approach to realism, meticulous, emotive, and deeply human. Collectors drawn to fine art portraiture, graphite drawings, or custom commissions will find this piece both a celebration of classic film artistry and a showcase of refined draftsmanship.
