## Prompt

```text
A painterly steampunk fantasy portrait of a young woman shown from about thigh-up in side profile, facing left, standing in a narrow workshop filled with mechanical parts and clockwork. She has long, voluminous, curly {hair_color} hair cascading down her back, with a few loose strands glowing against the background. A pair of large brass aviator goggles with iridescent blue-purple lenses rests on top of her head. Her outfit is a romantic steampunk dress: a rich {dress_color} bodice and skirt, a high-necked white blouse with ruffled trim and puffed sleeves, layered frills at the collar and hem, and multiple tan leather straps and buckles cinched around the waist and torso. She carries a medium brown leather backpack with rounded flap and visible buckles over one shoulder. The setting is dense with industrial details on both sides: exposed pipes, valves, hanging instruments, circular gauges, and several visible gears, including 1 large gear in the upper right and multiple ring-like metal components along the walls. Use an expressive oil-painting style with thick impasto brushstrokes, soft edges, and a dreamy handcrafted texture. The palette should contrast cool dusty blues and teals in the background with warm brass, copper, amber, and honey highlights on the machinery and hair. The mood is whimsical, adventurous, and slightly nostalgic, like a storybook steampunk inventor’s atelier. Vertical composition, character centered slightly right of frame, background softly abstracted but packed with mechanical forms, no readable text, no modern elements, and keep the face obscured by a simple centered rectangular blur block in a muted tan-brown tone.
