Vicki Wilcox’s portrait captures the essence of one the most iconic actresses of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Known for performances in classic films like Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Elizabeth Taylor’s onscreen appearances define grace and elegance. Wilcox’s graphite pencil illustration highlights the actress’ expression through form and tone. The eyebrows, eyes and hair contrast in hue with Taylor’s makeup and jewelry; the technique places emphasis on the eyes as the windows to the soul. The contrast in texture of the hair and skin exude realism and beauty. Wilcox’s design illuminates the distinct composition of the actresses’ unique style.
