Use the uploaded photo ${reference-photo} as a strict reference for facial and body structure.

Overall Direction: A professional, photorealistic studio portrait with a vintage, hand-retouched style, recreating the iconic Gothic portrait of Lily Munster with her cat. The image has an old-film quality, a soft, hand-colored finish, and a subtle paper texture.

Composition: Use a classic double-exposure composition.

Background Exposure: Feature a ghostly, much larger face of the same woman in the left background, in very soft focus and a muted sepia tone, looking to the left.

Foreground: Place the main figure on the right, in color and sharp focus.

Main Subject (The Woman): A woman with Lily Munster's iconic, distinctive two-tone hairstyle: jet-black hair with symmetrical, clearly defined white streaks. Capture her in a medium shot.

Expression: A subtle, serene, warm smile, with a direct, friendly gaze toward the camera.

Makeup: Dramatic, well-defined 1960s Gothic makeup, including dark, arched eyebrows, pronounced cat-eye eyeliner, thick lashes, and sharply defined, matte dark-red lips.

Pose: She affectionately holds a solid-black cat in her arms, cradling it close to her face and shoulder.

The Cat: A medium-sized, solid-black, short-haired cat, held affectionately. The cat has intense golden-amber eyes and looks directly at the camera.

Outfit and Details:

Dress: A flowing, deep-black chiffon or gauze dress with very loose, sheer batwing sleeves. The sleeve edges and neckline are adorned with highly detailed, textured, deep-black bobble trim.

Jewelry: She wears a simple dark-beaded necklace. Her fingernails are dark and polished.

Background and Lighting:

Background: A soft, diffused gradient of muted pink and mauve with a subtle texture.

Lighting: Soft, dramatic studio lighting typical of classic 1960s horror cinema, highlighting facial features and the textures of the clothing and the cat's fur. No digital noise or compression artifacts. The finish should be soft while retaining photorealistic detail in the textures of skin, fur, and fabric.
