Cozy Cottage Merchant in a 3D Render Scene

Photorealistic 3D render of a friendly merchant inside a cozy cottage. The merchant stands behind a rough-hewn wooden counter piled with jars of honey, sacks of spices, dried herbs, bread loaves, and a brass balance scale. Parchment price tags hang on twine. Warm amber light streams through a small window and the glow from a crackling stone fireplace bathes the room. Rustic timber beams, a stone hearth with a kettle, and shelves of ceramic pots and textiles create a warm, lived-in atmosphere. The merchant wears a leather apron over a linen shirt, a soft cap, and a friendly smile. A cat naps by the hearth. Materials are highly detailed with wood grain, copper and brass accents, glazed ceramics, and wool textiles. Lighting features soft shadows, subtle subsurface scattering in ceramics, realistic reflections. Camera is set for a cinematic, 50mm eye-level shot with shallow depth of field, focusing on the merchant and foreground goods while the background is gently blurred. Style is ultra-detailed, photo-realistic, and suitable for a high-quality 3D render.
