Bernie Sanders | 4x6 | Original Graphite Drawing
About the Portrait
This 4x6 graphite drawing captures Bernie Sanders with a broad, endearing smile — a moment of genuine warmth and character. While rooted in observational realism, the playful exaggeration of features gives the piece a touch of caricature, balancing humor with respect.
The piece celebrates Bernie’s recognizable charm — his expressive face, slightly tilted grin, and disheveled energy — offering viewers a glimpse into the human side of a political icon. It’s part of a continuing series that captures candid expressions of public figures in graphite.
Artistic Approach
Drawn with graphite pencil on smooth paper, this portrait blends structured hatching with loose, playful gesture to create a feeling of spontaneity. The focus on natural expression over perfect symmetry gives the portrait its personality — a reminder that even serious leaders have moments of levity.
This drawing is ideal for collectors who appreciate expressive realism and character-driven portraiture, especially in the realm of political art.
