Serene Black-and-White Portrait with Nose Ring

Black-and-white fine-art portrait of a serene young woman, shoulders visible in a close-up. She wears a delicate nose ring. Soft, directional lighting from the left creates Rembrandt-style shadows across her cheek and jaw, sculpting her features with rich midtones and deep blacks. Subtle film-grain texture adds timeless character. A shallow depth of field blurs the background, mimicking a 50mm lens portrait. Her expression is calm and introspective, with a gentle gaze slightly off-camera and relaxed lips. Natural, minimal makeup and hair tucked behind one ear to reveal the nose ring. The result is an elegant monochrome image that emphasizes serenity and quiet beauty.
