fading light (2025)Charcoal drawing by Denny Stoekenbroek

This charcoal portrait captures a moment of deep introspection. The subject’s gaze, slightly averted and illuminated by dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, creates an atmosphere of contemplation and quiet longing. The soft yet expressive rendering of the facial features, contrasted with the rich darkness of the background, adds a cinematic depth to the piece. Fine details such as delicate strands of hair and the subtle texture of the skin enhance the realism, drawing the viewer into the subject’s world.

Ideal for collectors who appreciate emotive portraiture with a striking interplay of light and shadow.
