Prompt
Medium full shot of a seated {argument name="subject" default="young woman"} on an ornate, {argument name="armchair style" default="light-blue French-style armchair"} with visible gold paint and patina. She is draped in a voluminous, {argument name="fabric" default="cream-colored fabric"} that acts as a gown or cover, with soft, rendered folds. She is barefoot, legs crossed and drawn up, hands clasped, resting her head pensively on one hand. Her gaze is off-frame to the right. Dark, loosely pinned hair. Visible soft, pensive, melancholic expression. Warm, golden natural light, as if from a window, bathes her face, the fabric, and the chair, contrasting with the dark, textured, almost charcoal-blue background. Fine art oil painting, traditional technique, realistic detail, soft light, deep shadow, evocative atmosphere. Masters style, perhaps Rembrandt or Sargent. Highly detailed. Fine resolution.
The prompt is mostly a plain-language scene description. That makes it a flexible base: add a focal length, a light direction and an aspect ratio and it will land the same way on every run.
