Royal Gold Thread Embroidery Portrait on Ivory Linen

Using the uploaded photo, create a photorealistic vertical 4:5 macro-art portrait of the same man, recreated as intricate royal embroidery stitched directly onto premium ivory linen fabric. KEEP — Preserve the man's exact recognizable facial identity, including forehead shape, eyebrow placement, eye shape and natural eye colour, nose bridge and tip, lip shape, cheek structure, cheekbones, jawline, chin, ears, facial width and natural asymmetry. Keep his original skin tone, visible pores, fine skin texture, natural marks, authentic age and expression. Preserve his original hairline, hairstyle, hair density, texture and colour, along with visible facial hair and body proportions. Do not reinterpret his face as a generic embroidered model. CHANGE — Transform the photographic appearance into dimensional needlework using antique-gold, charcoal-black, warm beige and ivory threads. Use a tight chest-up crop with the face filling most of the frame. Angle the shoulders naturally, tilt the head slightly toward viewer-left and turn the face distinctly toward viewer-right. Direct the eyes farther off-camera toward viewer-right. Keep the expression calm and thoughtful, with relaxed lips. Dress him in an ivory embroidered shirt featuring fine gold stitching around the collar, placket and buttons. Construct facial highlights with short cream-coloured stitches, shadows with dense black thread hatching and hair with individually directed dark strands. SCENE — Place the embroidered portrait flat on softly textured ivory linen, with subtle fabric creases around the shoulders and edges. Keep the background uncluttered, allowing the raised gold stitching and facial details to dominate the frame. LIGHT — Use soft directional light from the upper-left, with gentle shadows falling beneath raised stitches and along the fabric weave. Maintain neutral-warm colour temperature so the gold thread appears metallic without turning the skin yellow. CAMERA — Simulate an 85mm macro lens at f/5.6, viewed nearly perpendicular to the fabric at close working distance. Keep the eyes, nose, lips and surrounding embroidery sharply detailed, with only the outer fabric edges falling slightly out of focus. GRADE — Use warm ivory highlights, restrained antique-gold reflections, deep charcoal stitch shadows and natural beige midtones. Preserve realistic thread colours, tactile fibres and subtle tonal variation without excessive saturation. OUTPUT — Vertical 4:5 aspect ratio, 2048 × 2560 pixels, high-detail photorealistic textile artwork. DO NOT slim the face, whiten the skin, change eye colour, smooth away natural skin detail, alter the hairline, invent jewellery or tattoos, distort facial proportions, or replace the person's identity with a different face.
