A poised nude female figure drawn in the Russian drawing method, seated with regal calm and quiet authority. In this graphite work on white paper, Yana Evans applies the principles of the Russian Academic Drawing Approach, balancing anatomical precision with expressive storytelling.
Executed entirely in pencil, the drawing demonstrates a disciplined control of form, tone, and proportion. Subtle cross-hatching and tonal gradation carve light into shadow, sculpting the body with a classical sense of volume. The figure grips a staff lightly, seated on stone-like steps, suggesting both power and introspection, evoking timeless archetypes of feminine strength and sovereignty.
This original drawing is ideal for collectors who appreciate academically rooted figurative art with symbolic undertones. It also stands as a signature example of Yana’s commissioned work, merging classical technique with contemporary psychological depth.
