FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact man in the attached photo - same hairline, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jaw, skin tone, same facial hair as the reference. Never beautify or reshape the face.

STYLE: a photoreal portrait set into an exploding watercolour ground - bright ink blooms and splatter radiating outward on cream paper, the colour dissolving to bare paper at the edges. The same person appears twice: a large close-up filling the upper field, and a small full-length figure seated low in the frame. The two never overlap and never look at each other.

Indigo and teal blooms. The large close-up is chest-up in a white kurta with a navy shawl, eyes to the viewer, calm. The small seated figure below wears the same white kurta, seated cross-legged with both hands resting open on his knees, fingers countable. Vertical 3:4.

The face is rendered PHOTO-TRUE with real skin texture and clear catchlights - the one element exempt from the surrounding style, never simplified. High resolution, clean edges, no artefacts, no extra limbs or duplicated features. No lettering anywhere.

CHECK: the face must match the reference exactly.

The small seated figure below complements this full portrait, creating a thoughtful contrast without any overlap, ensuring that both representations are distinct yet harmonious in the composition.
