Repaint only the masked area. Everything outside the mask is FINAL and must not change — the bottle, its shape, the amber glass, the snakeskin leather band, the gold lettering reading "john varvatos" and "VINTAGE", the gold cap, the teal drawer lining, the contact shadow under the bottle, the stack of sepia photographs, the grey cloth, the wooden drawer walls, the lighting and the colour grade. Remove the existing hand completely and rebuild the area it occupied — restore the drawer lining, the photographs and the cloth underneath it so no trace of the old hand remains. NEW HAND — direction is the whole point: A woman's RIGHT hand enters the frame from the BOTTOM RIGHT edge, coming up over the near front wall of the drawer and reaching INWARD, AWAY from the camera, toward the bottle. She is kneeling in front of the dresser on the near side, so her arm travels from the foreground into the drawer. We see the BACK of her hand from above. The wrist is at the bottom right edge of the frame, cropped there. The forearm is not visible. The fingers point away from the camera, up and to the left, toward the neck and shoulder of the bottle. The thumb is on the LEFT side of the hand, lower and closer to camera, resting against the near shoulder of the glass. The index and middle fingers curl over the top of the bottle just below the gold cap. The ring and little fingers trail behind, relaxed, not touching the glass. Her hand is just settling onto the bottle — first contact, not a firm grip. The bottle stays exactly where it is, still lying flat in the drawer, not lifted, not moved, not rotated. Because the hand reaches away from the camera, it appears in slight perspective foreshortening: the wrist and knuckles are larger and nearer, the fingertips smaller and further away. HAND DETAIL: Natural adult female hand, Slavic, early forties. Short unpainted nails, soft square shape. Warm living skin with fine texture, faint veins across the back of the hand, a soft crease at each knuckle. Slim wrist. Exactly five fingers. No rings, no jewellery, no sleeve, no bracelet. Only ONE hand in the frame. The hand must NOT cover the gold lettering on the leather band. "john varvatos" and "VINTAGE" stay fully visible and sharp. LIGHT ON THE HAND: The same single warm window light from the upper left rakes across the back of the hand and the tops of the knuckles, warm amber #E8A85C. The near side of the fingers and the underside of the hand fall into cool teal shadow #1E5F6B with no fill light. The hand casts a soft contact shadow onto the teal lining and onto the edge of the photographs beneath it — it must sit in the same space as the bottle, not float above it. Match the grain, halation, softness and colour grade of the surrounding image exactly.
