## Prompt

```text
Using REFERENCE_0 as the scene source, transform the city river photograph into a minimalist hand-painted watercolor and ink travel-poster illustration. Preserve the recognizable skyline, river viewpoint, bridge, boats, and warm late-day atmosphere, but simplify the architecture into loose sketch lines and soft washes instead of photorealistic detail. Recompose the scene as a small centered vignette on a wide off-white textured watercolor-paper background with generous empty space around it; fade the sky and edges into the paper rather than filling the whole canvas. Use muted beige, pale blue, gray, and warm gold tones with a soft reflected glow on the water. Add exactly 3 centered text lines beneath the illustration: {main_title}, {location_text}, and {year}, set in widely spaced elegant uppercase serif lettering, plus one short thin horizontal line below the year. Keep the final image clean, airy, refined, and poster-like, with no frame, no extra logos, and no additional text.
```
