Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". 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 Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Joseph Swan: A distinguished man in his late 40s with a well-groomed, full white beard and thinning hair. He has a calm, scholarly expression and wears spectacles perched on his nose. He is shown in a Victorian-era study filled with leather-bound books and glass vacuum pumps. The environment is warm, with soft light filtering through a window, casting gentle shadows across his thoughtful face. He possesses a sturdy build and an aura of patient persistence.
