Graceful Poise: Portrait in Black Embroidered Dress

A refined, three-quarter portrait of a woman seated on a dark velvet chair, wearing a black embroidered dress with intricate silver-thread floral embroidery along the bodice and sleeves. She sits with perfect poise, shoulders relaxed and back straight, hands folded gently in her lap. Soft, directional lighting in the style of Rembrandt creates warm skin tones and gentle chiaroscuro, while the black dress and dark studio background recede into the shadows. The embroidery catches subtle highlights, revealing texture of silk and metallic thread. The scene should feel timeless and painterly, as if an oil painting: smooth, detailed brushwork on skin and fabric, true-to-life textures, and a delicate grain. The woman's expression is calm and dignified, with a faint, confident smile and eyes that look slightly past the viewer. Overall mood: grace, poise, sophistication.
