## Prompt

```text
[Composition/Camera Angle]
Mid-shot, waist-up to medium shot captured at eye level with a slight diagonal. A cinematic horizontal composition (3:4) conveying the openness of a Parisian cafe terrace. Background cityscape and the cafe's red awning are appropriately blurred (depth of field around F1.8 to F2.8), guiding the viewer's gaze to the subject's delicate expression and hand details.

[Subject/Pose/Gesture/Fashion Description]
A woman sitting at a terrace table of a {cafe_location}. Wearing {clothing} (several top buttons open to show a natural V-line from neck to décolletage) and tight black skinny pants. Classic black cat-eye sunglasses are casually placed on top of her head. Holding a ceramic coffee cup with beautiful latte art in one hand, she gazes at passersby with a {expression}. Natural wrinkles in the linen shirt, 3D folds in the fabric swaying gently in the wind, relaxed yet refined posture.

[Exact Application of Features and Structure from Reference Image (Image Reference)]
Face/Expression: Accurately reference and reproduce the facial structure, placement of parts (eye shape, bridge of nose, mouth), skin texture, and nuances of the ennui eyes from the [reference image].
Hairstyle/Hair Color: Completely reproduce the hair length, volume, flow of tips, and hair color from the [reference image].
Body Type/Structure: Apply the neck-to-shoulder line, thickness of the chest, torso silhouette, and length of hands and fingers from the [reference image] as a base.

[Space/Lighting/Atmosphere]
The historic streets of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris and the vivid red cafe awning. Soft afternoon sunlight shines through the roadside trees, casting beautiful dappled light and shadows (Chiaroscuro effect) on the table, her skin, and the linen shirt. The overall tone is a warm natural palette, with lighting that evokes the relaxed, sophisticated flow of time characteristic of Parisian cafes.
