Ultra-realistic, Highly Detailed Digital Painting / Photorealistic Illustration of a modern man inspired by classical portraiture.
Image Type: Ultra-realistic digital painting / Photorealistic illustration.
Overall Artistic Style: Highly detailed, reminiscent of a classical historical portrait, resembling a hand-colored engraving or lithograph. Photorealistic treatment of facial features with textured, cinematic quality.
Likeness: Very strong and precise likeness to the provided photo of a man with light to medium brown hair, defined cheekbones, gentle smile, and naturally expressive eyes.
Lighting: Soft, even studio-style lighting from the front-left. Natural facial contours gently illuminated with fill light to soften shadows. No harsh contrasts.
Depth of Field: Shallow — sharp focus on the face, blurred background.
Color Palette: Warm and natural tones. Emphasis on realistic skin tones, neutral brown eyes, and soft contrast in clothing colors.
Subject Details:
Age: Appears in his 35s to early 45s.
Expression: Calm, confident, and lightly smiling. Gaze is slightly inquisitive and warm, directly facing the viewer.
Face Shape: Oval with a gently defined jawline.
Hair:
Color: Medium brown with slight wave and natural flow.
Style: Short, combed gently back from the face, natural texture preserved.
Facial Hair: Clean-shaven with subtle sideburns.
Eyes:
Color: Warm brown, soft and expressive.
Shape: Almond-shaped with a kind, focused gaze.
Eyebrows: Naturally full, gently arched, matching hair color.
Nose: Straight with soft bridge, proportionate to the face.
Mouth: Lightly smiling, medium lips, relaxed and confident.
Chin: Smooth, proportional and softly rounded.
Facial Pose: Frontal, with a very subtle clockwise tilt (~2°), just like the reference image.
Clothing Details:
Shirt: Light blue patterned shirt with floral or abstract design; collar open, no tie. Should reflect subtle texture and realistic folds.
Inner Garment: Black undershirt faintly visible under open collar.
Jacket (Optional for artistic variation): A classical-style frock coat in dark maroon or navy could be added for historic contrast while blending with the shirt underneath.
Background & Atmosphere:
Background: Soft, light grey-blue tone with textured, stippled or cross-hatch engraving effect — mimicking 18th–19th century historical portrait backgrounds. No gradients or heavy shadows.
Mood: Calm, introspective, warm. Conveys intelligence, kindness, and composure.
Rendering Quality:
Resolution: 8K
Detail: Ultra-fine rendering — individual hair strands, textured skin (pores, natural shadows), realistic eye highlights, and cloth weave.
Color Gradations: Natural transitions, soft and historically appropriate.
Focus: Shallow depth — sharp on facial features, background softly out of focus.
