The Lion of Arabia is a graphite portrait drawing of King Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud created by Yana Evans. The work carries a steady, dignified presence that suits a figure whose influence shaped modern Saudi history. The drawing focuses on clean structure, balanced shading, and controlled detail, giving the portrait a timeless clarity suited for collectors who value traditional craftsmanship.
 
King Faisal is remembered for his role in strengthening Saudi Arabia through education initiatives, careful economic planning, and a calm but decisive diplomatic style. His leadership during the oil crisis of the early seventies placed him at the center of global affairs, and his reputation for integrity still defines his legacy. This graphite portrait drawing reflects that history through a careful study of light, form, and expression.
 
Buyers searching for graphite art, portrait drawing, realistic drawing, or collectible figurative work will find this piece aligned with both classic expectations and current art-market interests. It works naturally in private interiors, offices, or curated gallery displays. The artwork also connects new audiences to the broader practice of Yana Evans, whose art commissions include portrait art and animal drawings created with the same disciplined approach.
