## Prompt

```text
A cinematic Renaissance art studio interior lit by soft warm window light, showing an elderly Leonardo da Vinci-like painter in left profile, seated at an easel and painting the Mona Lisa from a live model. The painter has long gray hair, a full gray beard, and wears a dark period cap and heavy dark robe. In the center foreground stands a large canvas on a wooden easel displaying the Mona Lisa composition, while on the right a live female sitter poses in the same iconic posture with folded hands, wearing a dark Renaissance dress and veil-like drapery. The mood is intimate, quiet, and painterly, with rich brown and amber tones, dramatic chiaroscuro, aged plaster walls, a leaded-glass window on the left, and a wooden table in the back holding brushes and studies. Include 2 portrait sketches pinned or propped in the background behind the model. In the lower right foreground, show a cluttered painter’s worktable with 1 paint palette, multiple small paint dabs, several brushes in a cup, and a few shallow bowls. Compose the scene as a realistic historical photograph of the moment the masterpiece is being created, medium-wide shot, slightly over-the-shoulder from behind the artist, extremely detailed textures, old master atmosphere, soft focus falloff, no modern objects.
