Create a high-quality, realistic vertical photograph using the face from the reference image without changes or distortion. Preserve the recognizable facial features exactly.

Create a haunting gothic portrait of a woman standing completely still inside an abandoned house, photographed from outside through an old, broken wooden window. Look directly through the window frame at her. Center her upper body behind the lower-middle pane, with the weathered wooden crossbars cutting naturally across the composition. She stands almost straight on, facing the camera, with lowered shoulders and rigid posture. Her head is tilted slightly downward while her eyes look upward directly into the lens, creating an intense, unsettling stare. Her lips are closed and her expression is cold and emotionless.

She wears a long antique white dress with a fitted bodice, delicate aged lace, subtle floral texture, long or three-quarter sleeves, and a loose skirt disappearing below the bottom of the frame. Her hair has exactly the same structure and length as in the reference image. It is worn loose, slightly damp and disheveled, with thin strands clinging naturally around her forehead, temples, and cheeks. Do not specify or change the hair color. Her complexion is extremely pale and cold but remains realistic, with natural pores and skin texture rather than plastic smoothness.

Make the old window a major foreground element: peeling, dirty white paint; cracked, weathered wood; multiple shattered panes; jagged fragments of glass still attached around the openings; and dense, spiderweb-like fracture patterns spreading across the remaining glass. Thin dead vines crawl along the outer frame. Rainwater runs vertically down the surviving glass and slightly distorts portions of her face and dress. The interior behind her is almost completely black.

Use cold, desaturated blue-gray daylight, extremely low exposure, deep shadows, a damp atmosphere, and subtle mist. The woman remains recognizable through the broken, wet glass but is not perfectly sharp; rain streaks, glass, and slight focus imperfections create natural softness. Use muted colors, subtle analog grain, and realistic reflections and refraction through damaged glass. The result should look like eerie cinematic horror photography, not an illustration or 3D render.

Place a two-line author signature at the bottom of the image. Top line: “${signature-top:By Annet}” in a luxurious, elegant calligraphic script with flowing handwritten lettering and high-contrast strokes. Bottom line: “${signature-bottom:prompt: @annet_k.01}” in a smaller, simple, clean sans-serif printed font, clearly readable.
