Kevin McCarthy | 4x6 | Original Graphite Drawing

About the Portrait

This 4x6 original graphite drawing captures Kevin McCarthy with a lively expression and unmistakable personality. The subtle turn of the head and confident grin bring an element of motion and humanity, making this one of the most animated portraits in the series.

The drawing’s tonal contrast and layered pencil work lend depth and definition, while maintaining a loose, natural feel — a balance between structure and spontaneity that highlights both likeness and energy.

Artistic Approach

Created in graphite on heavyweight paper, the artist combines precision crosshatching with expressive tonal blending. This portrait emphasizes gesture and mood, using subtle humor and charm to reflect McCarthy’s often public-facing, media-savvy presence.

The drawing’s hand-rendered texture and compositional dynamism make it a standout piece in any modern political portrait collection.
