Reimagine the subject in the uploaded reference image as a mysterious black rose of 19th-century Victorian England. Use a blend of Gothic Romanticism, sepia pencil drawing, and antique fashion editorial styling. Create a highly detailed classic fine-art portrait in a vertical 9:16 format.

Preserving the original identity is the highest priority. Keep the subject’s face shape, eyes, irises, nose, lips, hairline, skin tone, body shape, and apparent age. This prompt should work for people, girls, boys, Blythe dolls, BJD dolls, cats, dogs, and anthropomorphic animals. For animals, preserve their species, fur color, ears, muzzle, and tail. For dolls, preserve their distinctive sculpt, glass eyes, and joints. Do not humanize the subject or over-beautify them.

Dress the subject in an ivory high-neck ruffled blouse and a black antique leather corset jacket, with a lace ribbon tie, black pearl brooch, Victorian cameo necklace, and delicate chain details. Add voluminous long curly hair, blowing in the wind and framing the shoulders. Adapt the outfit to fit an animal’s original body structure.

Tilt the head slightly and gaze directly forward with a wistful, captivating expression. Frame the subject in a three-quarter upper-body composition, showing the shoulders and waist. Use a bright, monochrome ivory studio background with a faint Gothic rose pattern.

Use soft natural side lighting, delicate graphite linework, cross-hatching, smudged shading, and extremely fine detail in each individual curl. Reproduce the fiber texture of aged cotton rag paper, subtle sepia tinting, and even traces of pencil dust and eraser marks. Aim for the quality of an analog masterpiece held in a museum collection. Show a single main subject. Include no text or watermark.
