Art style: Cinematic Neo-Noir.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, figure centered in a dim Renaissance-era stone corridor with tall arched windows casting hard shadows across the floor. Niccolo is a sharp-featured middle-aged man in his early fifties, lean and wiry, medium height, with pale olive skin and a gaunt, angular face — high cheekbones, a thin hawk-like nose, hollow cheeks, a firm jaw. Piercing dark eyes fixed in a cold, calculating gaze, thin lips pressed into a faint knowing near-smile. Short dark hair greying at the temples, clean-shaven with faint stubble. He wears a fitted black doublet with subtle deep-crimson trim, a high dark collar, tailored dark trousers, and worn black leather shoes. Hands clasped behind his back, stoic and composed, shoulders squared, chin slightly lowered in quiet appraisal.

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 "Cinematic Neo-Noir" idiom, not in any other medium.
