The subjects are the couple in the attached reference photo. A cut-paper flat collage illustration art print, full-length. Keep his exact hairline, hairstyle, brow shape, eye shape and spacing, nose structure, lip shape, jawline, beard pattern, skin tone and natural proportions, and keep her exact hairline, hairstyle, brow shape, eye shape and spacing, nose structure, lip shape, jawline, skin tone and natural proportions, so each is unmistakably the same person. The artwork stylizes texture, wardrobe and background, never the facial geometry. The reference photo's lighting, background and clothing are discarded outright. They peek at each other from opposite sides of one stylized cut-paper tree, she leaning out from the left and he from the right with both full bodies visible, each resting one flat palm on the trunk, every visible hand drawn with fingers relaxed and countable. She wears a cornflower-blue paper dress with layered card pleats, he a warm ochre paper shirt with deep olive trousers, every shape a clean torn-and-cut layer with tiny paper shadows. A curved dotted line of five tiny flowers arcs hand-drawn over the treetop. A layered wildflower meadow of paper grass stems and simple blooms runs as the strip along the bottom. The backing field is cream card, never brighter than their faces, with warm light implied from the upper right so the right side of each face carries a soft apricot paper layer. The shared beat is caught-you glee: her eyebrows raised with wide eyes and an open smile, his eyes locked on hers with a caught-out curling grin, the eyes and mouth agreeing on both faces, natural micro-asymmetry kept, never exaggerated, never a posed grin. Each head sized naturally against its shoulders, both figures in true natural proportion, framing equivalent to a 50mm full-length portrait lens. The single hook: one paper tree hiding nothing and both of them knowing it. no letters, no numbers, no words anywhere. Vertical 4:5 art-print composition.
