FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact woman in the attached photo - same hairline, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jaw, cheeks, skin tone. Never beautify or slim the face.

STYLE: a two-part keepsake stacked vertically. TOP HALF: a clean real photograph. BOTTOM HALF: the same moment redrawn as a small, simple, cute illustration - flat soft colour, minimal line, generous cream paper around it, a caption in fine handwritten script beneath. The two halves sit edge to edge with no border between them.

Both halves show the same moment: her standing on a whitewashed terrace at golden hour in a mustard cotton saree, one hand on the parapet, fingers countable. In the illustrated half she is simplified but still clearly the same person. Vertical 3:4.

The face is drawn to the reference's exact proportions - same hairline, brow shape, eye size and spacing, nose, lips and jaw - recognisable at a glance, eyes their real size and never enlarged, never a generic stylised face. High resolution, clean edges, no artefacts, no extra limbs or duplicated features. One text only: Golden Hour, spelled exactly G, o, l, d, e, n, space, H, o, u, r, clear of every face and touching nothing. No other lettering.

CHECK: the face must match the reference exactly.

How to use this prompt

To create this diptych, upload the reference photo of the woman to ensure the illustration matches her exact proportions. Ensure the top half consists of a high-quality photograph of her standing on the terrace, while the bottom half should be an illustration that mirrors that moment with simplified features. Ensure the phrase 'Golden Hour' is placed clearly beneath the illustration. If the face doesn't match perfectly, adjust the illustrated version until the proportions align with the original photo.
