Art style: Literary Cinematic 2.5D. A violent, shadowy struggle inside a cluttered Victorian room. A flash of silver steel under dim lighting as a terrible crime is committed. In the background, the exposed oil portrait shifts further, its features twisting into an even more grotesque and terrifying depiction of murderous malice. The composition is chaotic and dramatic, with deep shadows and high emotional intensity. Literary Cinematic 2.5D style with painterly brushstrokes. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Literary Cinematic 2.5D" style.

He is dressed in refined, elegant 19th-century attire featuring a tailored velvet coat, a crisp linen cravat, and a waistcoat with subtle embroidery.

He wears a paint-stained artist smock over a classic button-down shirt, exuding a dedicated, artistic, and deeply concerned energy. The lighting is warm and directional, casting gentle shadows in a cluttered artist studio filled with easels, canvases, and oil paints.
