Art style: Dark Gothic Fantasy.
An overhead shot of a heavy, leather-bound ledger open on a desk. The pages are filled with rows of crossed-out text and red ink marks, but the very bottom of the page is clean and blank. A small glass inkwell sits nearby. The lighting is serious and intellectual, featuring tones of deep green, cream, and black.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Dark Gothic Fantasy" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Dark Gothic Fantasy". 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 "Dark Gothic Fantasy" idiom, not in any other medium.
