Chiaroscuro Staircase Under Window Light

An ornate vintage wooden staircase winding upward through a quiet, sunlit hallway. Rich walnut banisters with intricate carvings and a deep burgundy carpet runner along the steps. A tall, arched sash window fills the landing with dramatic, golden light, casting long, angular beams across the treads and walls. Dust motes shimmer in the beam. The walls wear faded damask wallpaper and cracked plaster, hinting at a long-forgotten era. Perspective from the foot of the stairs, looking up with a low, slightly tilted camera angle to emphasize depth and drama. Style blends cinematic chiaroscuro with hyper-realistic detail: warm amber and honey tones contrasted by cool blue shadows, creating a moody, nostalgic atmosphere.
