masterpiece, cinematic chiaroscuro painting in the style of Caravaggio and Raphael, allegory of a youthful energy vampire. A beautiful young man (Narcissus-Alphonse) in modern silk attire stands in a dim, luxurious boudoir. He gazes with feigned innocence into a small hand-mirror. In its reflection, we see not his face but a cynical, predatory smirk. Two women flank him: a young maiden oblivious to a faint golden thread of youth leaving her temple towards him, a mature lady with an amber stream of time flowing from her hand. Subtle details: wilting roses, an overturned hourglass, an empty skull-shaped glass. Dramatic tenebrist lighting from a single window illuminates only his face and the energy transfers, leaving the women in soft shadow. Hyper-detailed, photorealistic textures of silk, skin, and glass. Color palette: ivory, sapphire blue, burgundy, deep umber. Style: Baroque realism with a touch of Pre-Raphaelite symbolism. Mood: sinister, elegant, deeply sarcastic.
