Gothic Imperial Grace

A woman in a black corset poses in the interior of an antique hall. She stands half-turned to the camera, her left arm extended to the side and resting on an invisible surface off-camera, her right hand raised and touching her neck, her gaze directed at the camera. Her skin is evenly matte, with long black eyelashes, light brown eyeshadow, and matte pink lipstick. Her hair is voluminous at the roots and styled in Hollywood waves. She is wearing a black corset with thick molded cups and vertical embroidery. The front of the corset has a row of small gold buttons down the center, translucent inserts with patterned lace on the sides contrast with the thick matte panels, and small gold drop earrings. A thin gold chain with a pendant hangs around her neck. The setting is an antique classical interior, in an elegant high-ceilinged room with tall arched windows. Behind her is a tall rectangular alcove with a large wooden window, the frame is dark wood, the walls are light beige with decorative moldings and stucco elements at the top, a black piano with a shiny polished surface and a closed lid is partially visible on the right side of the frame, the floor is light wood parquet with a geometric pattern, and a long panel or radiator is below the window. The main light source is the camera flash. The shadows are hard shadows with moderate contrast, highly detailed, photorealistic, shot on a film camera with a flash. The flash darkens the background.
