The Gentleman, 2020

The Gentleman is an original figurative portrait drawing defined by precise observation, fine linear work and restrained tonal modelling. The frontal composition gives the sitter an immediate presence, while the distinctive moustache, formal clothing and upward gaze establish the character of the portrait.

Executed in pencil on paper, the drawing uses layered hatching and subtle changes in pressure to describe the face without excessive detail. The result retains the directness of a traditional academic study while carrying the individuality of a finished portrait.

An original, one of a kind drawing by academic artist Nikola. Its intimate scale and monochromatic character make it suitable for private collections, contemporary interiors and curated gallery walls.
