Image3 is the user's painted fantasy STYLE reference; keep the same watercolor/gouache pigment texture, luminous brush highlights, deep violet/cobalt shadows and coral/crimson candlelight as the ongoing series. TIGHT HEAD-AND-SHOULDERS CLOSE-UP: the face is the main subject and fills most of the image. Expression: Cold, unmistakable ANGER: brows pulled down sharply, narrow burning red eyes, jaw clenched, lips pressed into a hard flat line. No smile or smirk. Three-quarter face turned left, direct hostile stare toward Richter offscreen. Strong restrained fury. Continuity MUST: his RIGHT gloved hand still visibly HOLDS the same intact gold-rimmed stemmed goblet of red wine at the lower-left edge beside his collar, naturally gripping the stem; no floating glass, no broken glass, no crushed goblet, no spilling wine. These are alternative expressions BEFORE the glass-breaking moment, so do not remove the goblet. Background: softly painted gothic throne-room candles and dark red drapery, subordinate to the face. One cohesive image, no collage, no text, labels, balloons, logo or watermark. This is study 01-cold-anger of three distinct angry expressions."

Expression: Anger rising into a tense snarl: deeply furrowed brows, widened glowing red eyes, upper lip slightly curled revealing a small vampire fang, tense cheek and jaw muscles, mouth just opening in a furious rebuke. Tight left-facing three-quarter face, eye-level camera. Clearly distinct from a closed-mouth glare.
