Art style: Film Noir.
Close-up on Emperor Nero's face, eyes wide with fear, sweat on his brow. Over his shoulder, out of focus, looms the shadowy figure of his mother, Agrippina. The lighting is low-key, casting long, dramatic shadows across the palace walls. Film noir style.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Film Noir" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Film Noir".
Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Film Noir" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Nero: A young Roman emperor in his early 20s, with curly dark hair, wearing a toga and a golden laurel wreath. His expression is a mix of arrogance, paranoia, and fear. He often looks over his shoulder.
- Agrippina the Younger: A formidable Roman noblewoman in her 40s. She has stern features, dark hair styled in an intricate Roman fashion, and wears expensive, dark-colored robes. Her gaze is sharp and controlling.
