Art style: Studio Ghibli.
Close-up on the beggar's face, which is now lit with a joyful, hopeful smile. He carries a clay jar on his shoulder, slung on a stick. The background is soft and slightly out of focus. Style of Studio Ghibli.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Studio Ghibli" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Studio Ghibli".
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 "Studio Ghibli" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- The Beggar: Strong rule: style --- Studio Ghibli ---. A man in his 40s with a kind, weathered face and a thin beard. He wears simple, patched, earth-toned robes of a traveler. His hands are calloused but his eyes are full of hope and dreams.
