## Prompt

- Model: Nano Banana Pro

```text
Classical academic oil painting style with a refined, old-master realism approach, inspired by traditional European portraiture. Ultra-smooth blending with meticulous brush control, creating flawless skin transitions and sculptural facial volume. Strong chiaroscuro lighting with a single directional light source, producing deep shadows and crisp highlights that define bone structure. Color palette is restrained and elegant—warm natural skin tones contrasted with deep blacks and muted neutrals. Edges are clean and sharply resolved in focal areas (eyes, nose, lips), while secondary areas soften subtly into shadow. Surface finish is highly polished with minimal visible brushstroke, giving a timeless, museum-quality appearance. Lighting emphasizes depth and seriousness, with a dramatic yet controlled tonal range. Background kept dark, smooth, and unobtrusive, enhancing subject prominence without texture distraction. Overall aesthetic is formal, dignified, and hyper-refined classical realism.
