Regal Lion Presiding in a Grand Courthouse

Ultra-realistic, photorealistic depiction of a regal lion presiding in a grand courthouse. The lion sits behind a polished dark wooden judge's bench, wearing a tailored black robe with a white collar, gazing calmly toward the courtroom. Surrounding scenery includes ornate wood paneling, marble columns, and a brass gavel resting on the bench. Behind the bench, rows of empty wooden benches and juror seats extend into the distance. Warm sunlight streams through tall arched windows, casting dramatic beams and soft shadows across the room. The lion's fur is meticulously detailed with individual hairs and a subtle sheen; the robe shows realistic fabric folds; overall composition is cinematic, high-resolution, with a slightly surreal, authoritative mood. Color palette of amber, mahogany, and ivory; low-angle shot to emphasize authority and presence, with shallow depth of field.
