Bela Lugosi as Dracula - 2024
Bella Lugosi as Dracula by Grant R. Fairbanks
Although Vlad Dracula was an actual historical person, the idea of Dracula as a Vampire was created by an English author named Bram Stoker. From his novel, the haunting image of Dracula as a vampire has been reproduced in various motion pictures. The classic portrayal of Dracula in the movies is best remembered by an actor named Bela Lugosi.
He was able to retract his upper eyelids to show the whites of his eye to give his face a frightening appearance. The decision to make an oil painting of Bela Lugosi was somewhat whimsical, but in the painting he is cast in his classic role. In this painting by Grant R. Fairbanks, M.D., in 2024, he has depicted the image of Bela Lugosi with his penetrating, staring eyes and vampire fangs.
A copy of the painting can be made available as a giclée.

Artwork Medium = Giclée Art Prints
- Copies of the original artworks are available for purchase as Giclees – a color copy on canvas. Although a Giclee lacks the surface texture of the original oil painting, when framed, and on the wall, it will appear to be identical. High-quality reproductions of museum-quality will last almost indefinitely without significant fading.
- Original oil paintings may be obtained by commission from the artist; however, due to time and effort required, they come at a significantly higher cost than the Giclee.
