Keep the face and identity from the reference photo exactly — bone structure, eye shape, nose, lips, face oval, real age, natural asymmetry and skin texture unchanged. No beautify, no face swap, no doll face.

Vertical 3:4, camera at eye level, medium shot from the top of the headpiece to below the knee. She stands alone inside an old wooden granary at dawn in mid-October. The granary is a tall timber structure with hand-hewn oak beams, a packed earth floor strewn with dry wheat chaff, and three narrow plank walls receding into deep warm shadow. A single small oil lamp burns low on a wooden shelf at the frame-left, throwing a warm amber pool across the wall. One narrow strip of first cold dawn light enters through a crack between two planks behind her frame-right shoulder and cuts a thin hard line across the chaff. No other people, no furniture, no windows.

On the model, a long black lacquered silk dress cut as a sculptural gown. The fabric is heavyweight silk with a hard glossy sheen, catching the lamp light as sharp planes along every fold. Rigid architectural shoulders rise in two sharp peaks above the collarbone, cut clean and unfaced. The sleeves fall long and close to the wrist, ending in fine black kid leather gloves stitched seamlessly to the cuff so each arm reads as one continuous line from shoulder to fingertip. Both shoulders above the collarbone stay bare between the shoulder peaks. A fitted deep black wool corsetka at the waist, laced down the centre front with dark leather cord, its upper edge straight across the breastbone. Dense cross-stitch embroidery in deep ruby silk thread with a fine black outline runs along the corset edge, the shoulder seams and the glove cuffs in geometric kalyna-berry and rhombus motifs, dense with no visible gaps. At the waist, a wide hand-woven kraika belt in deep ruby, black and antique gold thread wrapped twice, its ends falling loose over the skirt.

On the head, one enormous three-dimensional composition of living guelder-rose branches, built as a spherical halo rather than a wreath. A tight ring of heavy guelder-rose stems is bound at the base with dark linen thread and arches outward around the head in every direction, the arching branches loaded with dense clusters of translucent scarlet berries so the whole construction reads as an almost perfect sphere of red, the lowest clusters hanging just above the shoulders and the highest rising a full hand above the crown. Thin bare branches extend upward and sideways past the sphere, each tipped with a small cluster of berries. No flowers, no ribbons, no metal, no wax.

Hair: one thick braid low at the nape, pulled forward over the frame-left shoulder, sharp centre part, both temples clean, a few fine strands loose at the frame-right temple. Nothing else in the hair.

Makeup: flawlessly rendered natural skin with visible pores and honest texture, one sharp graphic black winged liner on each eye with a long corner, separated natural lashes, defined natural brows with a soft arch, a warm neutral contour along both cheekbones, matte deep ruby lipstick on the lips with a sharp defined edge. Long almond nails painted glossy black.

Pose: she stands turned three-quarters to the frame-right, weight on the frame-right foot, hip shifted slightly forward, one shoulder lower than the other. Her frame-right hand is raised and holds a single long guelder-rose branch upright before her, gripped halfway up the stem like a sceptre, the upper clusters of scarlet berries reaching the level of her chest and the lower tip touching the packed earth. Her frame-left hand is lowered and rests at her hip, fingers spread on the black lacquered silk, showing the continuous line of the glove. Her chin is level, eyes directly into the lens, mouth closed, calm and regal, no smile.

Accessories: one pair of long aged silver filigree earrings shaped as elongated clusters of guelder-rose berries, 6 cm long, each carrying three small polished ruby-red glass berries strung on fine silver wire, in both ears. One aged oxidised silver collar fitted to the base of the throat — a single narrow band with three small ruby glass berries set along its front, closing at the nape with a hidden clasp. One wide hand-hammered aged silver ring set with a single oval ruby glass cabochon on the frame-left middle finger, visible over the black leather glove. Nothing else at the throat, no other earrings, no other rings.

Light, four layered roles:
· Directional key — one small oil lamp at the frame-left on a low wooden shelf, warm amber and low, throwing a soft-edged pool of light across the frame-right cheekbone, the bare collarbones and the front of the lacquered silk, so the frame-left side of the jaw drops into a deep warm-black shadow.
· Fill — one large cream-coloured bounce disc held low at the frame-right, warm, gently lifting the underside of the jaw, the bare chest and the front of the corset without touching the shadow side of the neck.
· Contour rim — one narrow hard strip of first dawn light entering through the plank crack behind her frame-right shoulder, cold blue-white and tight, drawing a single thin clean outline along the outer arch of the halo, the frame-left shoulder peak and the trailing glove.
· Decorative reflections — the warm lamp light passes through the translucent scarlet berry clusters of the halo, throwing deep ruby patches across the bare collarbones, the black silk corset and the chaff on the earth floor, the individual berries glowing from within. Fine dust and chaff motes drift slowly through both the lamp pool and the thin dawn line as small suspended bright speculars.

Camera: full-frame, 85mm lens at f/2.0, focus locked on the eyes and the berry cluster at the base of the halo, the timber walls and the earth floor dissolving into deep warm blur. Fine film grain across the whole frame, real skin with visible pores, no digital smoothing, no plastic skin.
