Graceful Poise in a Black Embroidered Dress

A refined portrait of a woman seated gracefully in a luxurious black embroidered dress. The gown features intricate metallic thread embroidery and subtle beadwork, a high neckline, and long sleeves. She sits with perfect poise, back straight, shoulders relaxed, hands gently resting on her lap, and a serene, composed gaze. Lighting is warm and soft, with Rembrandt-inspired studio illumination from the left that sculpts her cheekbones and collarbone with gentle golden highlights. The background is a muted charcoal velvet drape, deliberately minimal to keep the focus on her. Style blends hyper-realism with painterly texture, as if a classic oil portrait; camera perspective akin to an 85mm portrait lens with shallow depth of field and a soft bokeh in the background. Skin tones are natural and luminous; makeup is minimal with subtle pink lips. Accessories include small pearl earrings; hair is styled in an elegant updo with a few loose tendrils framing the face. The overall mood conveys grace, poise, and refined elegance.
