Art style: Cinematic dark fairytale: painterly realism, candlelight and firelight against cold blue snow, fog, old wood and stone, rich textures, shallow depth of field, 35mm film grain, the same faces and costumes in every scene.. Medium low angle of Elias leaning over the bed, pulling Clara into a final, tender embrace. The workshop is filled with the soft, steady ticking of dozens of clocks. Warm orange light from the hearth glows from the side, highlighting the tears on his weathered face. He looks both heartbroken and at peace. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic dark fairytale: painterly realism, candlelight and firelight against cold blue snow, fog, old wood and stone, rich textures, shallow depth of field, 35mm film grain, the same faces and costumes in every scene." style.

Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Elias: A man in his late 50s with a deeply lined face, a short-trimmed salt-and-pepper beard, and silver-rimmed spectacles perched on a sharp nose. He wears a heavy, grease-stained leather apron over a thick wool charcoal tunic with rolled-up sleeves. His hands are stained with oil and scarred by years of delicate metalwork. He stands in a dimly lit workshop filled with the warm orange glow of a hearth and dozens of brass lanterns. His expression is one of intense focus and underlying sorrow. The background is a dense collection of hanging wooden clocks and intricate brass machinery.
