Royal Qajar-Era Portrait of You

Needs your photo. Upload a photo of yourself in ChatGPT first, then paste the prompt.

Create a vertical 3:4 oil painting of the person in the uploaded photo as a royal figure in the style of 19th-century Qajar court portraiture. IDENTITY LOCK (absolute priority) The uploaded photo is the only reference for who this person is. The result must show the exact same individual, not someone who looks similar. Preserve exactly: face shape and bone structure, proportions and spacing of the features, eye shape and color, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, chin, ears, natural asymmetries, skin tone and natural skin texture, facial hair, hairline and hair color, and their real apparent age. Do not beautify, slim, smooth, symmetrize, idealize, age, de-age or redesign the face. Do not add wrinkles, forehead lines, under-eye bags, hollow cheeks, sagging or weathered skin. The person must not look older, more tired or more worn than in the photo. The art style below applies to everything except facial anatomy. If style and likeness ever conflict, likeness wins. POSE AND FRAMING Waist-up, body facing forward, head very slightly turned, calm and dignified gaze toward the viewer. One hand rests on the chest or holds a small object; the other is lowered out of frame. Upright, formal, composed. CLOTHING AND JEWELRY A richly embroidered robe in deep crimson and gold, with dense floral and paisley (boteh) patterns, fine pearl edging, a jeweled clasp at the chest and a patterned silk sash at the waist. If the person wears a head covering in the photo keep it; otherwise keep their own hair exactly. Jewelry is elegant, not excessive. SETTING Behind them, a dark green velvet curtain pulled to one side, and an arched window opening onto a soft, idealized landscape with cypress trees. A patterned carpet edge or a low cushion may appear at the bottom. QAJAR STYLE Flattened decorative space, crisp contours, strong color blocks, intricate pattern rendered with the same precision as the face, slightly stylized proportions in the body and hands only. Smooth oil paint with fine brush detail on fabric and jewels, and a warm aged varnish with very subtle craquelure. LIGHT AND PALETTE Even, soft frontal light like a court painting. Crimson, gold, emerald green, ivory and deep brown, with small accents of turquoise. AVOID Modern clothing, photographic realism, cartoon style, a different or idealized face, added age, distorted hands, extra fingers, cluttered background, text, signatures, watermarks.
