Chiaroscuro Old-Master Couple | Candlelit Painting Portrait

Shoot it like a Dutch Golden Age painting that happens to be a photograph. A couple sits in a dark parlour lit by one oil lamp on a table between them, so all warmth comes from a single flame and everything beyond its reach falls into deep umber. He wears dark velvet with a plain white collar, she a dark gown with fine lace at the neckline, both looking into the lens with calm, unsmiling faces. Let the shadows stay heavy and the highlights fall softly across cheekbones, hands and the lace, with a faint painterly texture to the skin tones but no smoothing. Their faces, proportions and skin tone must match the uploaded references exactly. 85mm, f/1.4, warm amber palette with deep browns and muted olive, vertical 4:5, 8K. Anything modern in the frame, second light sources, flat lighting, distorted hands, extra fingers, plastic skin or watermark is a failure.
