Art style: Chinese Ink.
Watercolor painting of a narrow Petersburg canal with colorful facades and small bridges, gentle daylight. Strong depth of field: in the sharp foreground green tree branches and leaves framing the shot, a small wooden boat moored below, the canal receding softly into the distance. Rich painterly detail, muted romantic palette.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
traditional Chinese hand-painted animation — textured canvas / rice-paper grain, visible brushstroke and pigment texture like aged gouache painting, muted nostalgic palette (deep teal-blue night, warm ochre skin tones, a single accent of lattice-window red), soft flickering candlelight with strong chiaroscuro, thick contour linework on characters, 1930s–40s Chinese traditional dress, slow deliberate camera movement.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
