To graphically visualize the Cox proportional hazards model fitted to the survival data, we can use the ggSurvplot() function from the ggfortify package. Here's an example code to demonstrate how to do this:

In this example, we fitted a Cox regression model to the lung cancer survival data using age, sex, and performance status as predictors. We then used ggSurvplot() to plot the survival curves for each group (male vs female). We customized the plot by adding a title, axis labels, and using a color palette for the two groups. We also added confidence interval bands to the survival curves.
The resulting graph shows the expected survival probabilities over time for males and females. We can see that females have a higher probability of survival than males, which is consistent with previous research findings.
