A striking portrait of an authoritative woman, her gaze steady and piercing, with deep, expressive eyes, clad in a Gothic-inspired ensemble made of sumptuous dark velvet and delicate lace accents. Her attire features sleek lines, ornate silver clasps, and cascading layers of ebony fabric. Atop her head, she wears an elegant, angular hat adorned with intricate veiling, complementing her glossy, tightly coiled hairstyle. She grips an intricately designed obsidian scepter, her expression a blend of sternness and poise. Behind her looms a backdrop of a turbulent, cloud-laden sky and majestic, gothic spires, amplifying the portrait’s dramatic and powerful essence.
