Photorealistic portrait of a classical Roman marble bust of [SUBJECT], carved in the veristic style. The face is rendered with hyperreal human detail — natural pores, deep forehead furrows, crow's feet, faint stubble — while the entire surface reads unmistakably as aged marble: fine craquelure, hairline fissures, mineral veining, and chipped edges along the shoulder. Thick sculpted hair. Head turned three-quarters, chin slightly raised, gaze directed off-frame toward an upper light source; expression resolute and severe. Draped toga carved in deep, heavy folds over one shoulder, fastened with a large circular bronze medallion embossed with a lion's head and a ring of Latin lettering; scale-armor pauldron visible beneath. Bust terminates on a round marble plinth at the bottom of the frame. Lighting: single dramatic warm key light from upper left, deep chiaroscuro, strong falloff into shadow. Background is an abstract swirling nebula of dark umber and smoke, glowing faintly behind the silhouette, no architecture or horizon. Monochrome sepia palette throughout — burnt umber, bronze, warm ivory — heavy vignette, subtle film grain, low overall saturation. Shot as if with an 85mm lens at f/2.8, shallow depth of field, museum-catalogue framing with the head in the upper third. Ultra-detailed, 8K, cinematic. Aspect ratio 4:5. Negative: color, blue tones, flat even lighting, plastic or CGI skin, cartoon, text watermark, modern clothing, full body, multiple figures.
