Prompt

Vertical traditional Chinese Gongbi heavy-color painting of a lady on warm, aged cooked silk. Subject: A young [Han Chinese lady] standing in full figure, three-quarters profile, near [a quiet classical garden gallery]. She has a dignified, slender posture, head slightly bowed, with a quiet, gentle, and restrained expression. Her facial features include light eyebrows, a small straight nose, vermilion cherry lips, and fair, rosy skin. Long jet-black hair styled in an elegant ancient bun adorned with gilded flower hairpins, pearl tassels, and carved jade ornaments. Attire: Layered traditional Hanfu consisting of a stone-blue cross-collar upper garment, an ochre-red high-waisted long skirt, and an ivory-white draped shawl. Collar, cuffs, and hem are densely patterned with lotus scrolls, floral sprays, and Ruyi cloud motifs outlined in delicate gold thread. Ribbons and shawl drape in a graceful S-curve. Setting: In her right hand she gently holds [a branch of budding crabapple], with her left hand tucked into her long sleeve. The background features porous Taihu rocks, broad emerald plantain leaves, blooming peonies, scattered flower petals, vermilion wooden railings, and a soft, misty moon gate in the distance. Style and Technique: Orthodox Chinese Gongbi heavy-color technique. Fine iron-wire and gossamer ink outlines define the figure, drapery folds, jewelry, and botanical elements. Multi-layered color washes and flat coatings using traditional mineral pigments: stone blue, azurite green, cinnabar, ochre, rouge, clam shell white, and liquid gold highlights. Flat decorative space, muted shadows, and soft even illumination. Composition: Classical vertical scroll composition, with the figure occupying roughly two-thirds of the frame, balanced by elegant negative space and harmonious garden scenery. Constraints: Pure authentic hand-painted Gongbi silk scroll aesthetic. No photographic realism, no modern clothing, no anime stylized face, no thick oil impasto, no loose watercolor washes, no 3D rendering, no modern cinematic lighting, and no text, calligraphy, watermarks, or artist seals.
