Carolina I (2026)Pencil drawing by Marco Paludet

• A frontal nude portrait of a young woman rendered primarily in pencil with fine cross-hatching and soft graphite shading. The figure emerges from the white background, shown from the torso upward. Her long hair falls naturally over her shoulders, defined by dense, flowing line work that contrasts with the smoother treatment of the skin.

Floral elements drawn in coloured ink unfold across her shoulder and arms, appearing almost as organic extensions of the body. Warm tones of orange and red are balanced by subtle green details near the face, while broad gestures of blue and touches of pink paint animate the background, creating a dialogue between precise drawing and expressive colour.

Beyond its formal structure, Carolina I highlights youthful beauty through softness and balance. The young woman’s open, innocent gaze conveys freshness and natural elegance, while the integration of flowers enhances the sense of delicacy and vitality. Her nudity feels gentle and unforced, emphasizing harmony of form and quiet sensuality.

As part of a series dedicated to the same model, the work becomes a refined celebration of feminine grace, where aesthetic clarity and subtle colour accents elevate the portrait into a contemporary tribute to beauty.
