Baroque Candlelight Oil Painting Fusion (Image-to-Image)

  "prompt": "Use the uploaded reference image to **preserve 100% of the facial features, identity, age, skin tone, and expression** of the person. Do not alter facial structure or proportions. Create a **Baroque candlelight portrait with an oil-painting and watercolor hybrid style**. The face remains soft, realistic, and clearly recognizable from the reference, rendered with rich painterly brush strokes and subtle watercolor translucency. Hair follows the exact reference style, catching warm rim light from flickering candles. Clothing: classic dark-toned attire (velvet, brocade, or textured fabric) with painterly highlights and deep shadows. Background: dim antique interior with ornate drapery, aged walls, and multiple glowing candles creating pools of golden light. Dramatic chiaroscuro lighting with deep shadows, glowing highlights on skin, and subtle smoky atmosphere. Fine sketch lines visible beneath paint layers, textured canvas look, rich warm palette ({argument name=\"color palette\" default=\"amber, umber, burnt sienna, deep crimson\"}), cinematic depth, museum-quality fine art finish.",
