Wisdom in Black and White: Elderly Portrait

A striking black-and-white portrait of an elderly woman in a three-quarter view. Rembrandt lighting with one side of the face softly illuminated and the other cast in gentle shadow. Emphasize the textures and lines of age: deep wrinkles, crow's feet around wise, bright eyes that seem to tell a story. Her hair is silver and neatly styled. She wears a fine shawl or blouse that hints at elegance. The expression is calm and gracious, with a subtle, knowing smile. Use a shallow depth of field to blur a neutral studio backdrop, rich tonal range from pure whites to deep blacks, subtle film grain, and high contrast to highlight mood. Composition reminiscent of a classic studio portrait captured with an 85mm lens, 2:3 aspect ratio, timeless, dignified, and contemplative.
