Intended use: concept slide image for a mysterious New Year's evening "Bal Moderne" — a private theatrical play in the Modern (Art Nouveau-inspired) style, contemporary, not historical. A detail shot, no visible faces. Scene: a heavy crimson red velvet theatre curtain in darkness, parted by a narrow vertical slit of warm white light. A hand in a long black satin opera glove emerges through the slit, holding a black lacquered half-mask on a slender silver stick with flowing Art Nouveau curves, as if offering it to the viewer. Only the gloved forearm and hand are visible, nothing else of the person. A few specks of silver dust float in the light. Camera: medium close-up, eye level, ARRI Alexa 35, Cooke S7/i 75mm, glove and mask sharp, velvet folds falling into soft darkness. Light: the slit of light behind the curtain is the brightest, one hard spotlight from above glints on the silver stick and the satin, deep velvet shadows. Colour/finish: deep black #0B0B0C, crimson red #D3122A, antique silver, pearl. Fine film grain, crushed blacks, slight vignette. Empty dark space in the upper 35%. Constraints: no faces, no full figures, no text, no logos, no candles, no chandeliers, no CGI plastic look, no HDR halos.
