## Prompt · English

```text
Create a refined portrait of the adult in the uploaded photo wearing the costume shown in image 2, a modern Ming-inspired hanfu ensemble: a pale jade standing-collar jacket with delicate embroidery and a structured dark-red pleated skirt. Preserve the person's facial identity. Set the scene in a quiet traditional garden beside a carved wooden window and bamboo. Soft overcast light, believable woven silk, restrained jewelry, graceful natural posture, documentary costume-photography texture. Three-quarter-length vertical 4:5 composition. No modern accessories, logos or fantasy armor.
```
