Art style: Cinematic Neo-Noir.
A shadowed Renaissance council chamber, a long map-strewn table lit by a single hanging lamp. One figure quietly slides a sealed letter into his sleeve while another stands apart, excluded and unaware, at the edge of the light. Cold lamplight pools at the table's center, leaving the excluded man in gloom. Composition is a wide shot emphasizing separation and distance between the two. Palette of cold slate blue, dim gold, and heavy shadow. Atmosphere of concealment, quiet betrayal, and calculated exclusion.

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.
