Art style: Cinematic Neo-Noir.
A tense council chamber, one seated figure calm and unmoving at the head of a long table while another leans forward, red-faced, gesturing in provocation. Close-up favoring the calm figure's utterly composed, mask-like face. Dramatic side lighting, warm from one side, cold shadow on the other. Mood of suppressed volatility and iron self-control. Palette of controlled amber, ash grey, and a bruised red accent.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Neo-Noir" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Neo-Noir". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Neo-Noir" idiom, not in any other medium.
