Catarina

In this evocative portrait by Igor Makovsky, Catarina embodies quiet intensity. Draped in a rich red fabric that cascades over her shoulder, she strikes a poised pose, one hand near her lips, the other resting gently on her chest. Her dark hair frames a face adorned with delicate, sparkling jewelry—a headpiece, earrings, and a necklace—that catch the soft, directional light. The muted background draws focus to her expression, which is both contemplative and alluring. The composition balances intimacy with artistry, capturing a moment suspended between stillness and emotion. This image is a testament to the power of subtle gesture and refined beauty.
