Art style: Cinematic Realistic. A somber, empty courtroom with high ceilings and heavy mahogany benches. A single shaft of cold, dusty light falls on the empty defendant's chair. On the judge's bench, a wooden gavel sits motionless. The background is shrouded in deep shadow, suggesting the weight of the legal system. The atmosphere is subdued, final, and heavy with the consequences of the crime, with a palette of dark wood tones, cold grays, and muted sepia. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. 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): - Bernie Madoff: A man in his late 60s with thinning white hair slicked back, sharp and calculating eyes behind thin rimless glasses, and a composed, stoic expression. He has a tanned, weathered complexion and a subtle, confident smirk. He is positioned in a high-end, wood-paneled executive office in Midtown Manhattan, with a large window in the background showing the New York City skyline at dusk. The lighting is soft and warm from an unseen desk lamp, creating a professional yet slightly ominous atmosphere.
