Art style: Ghibli-style 2D animation, Victorian greenhouse aesthetic, blizzard outside, warm lantern light inside, lush greenery, 4K, cozy atmosphere. SETTING: The floating market at warm golden morning, extreme close-up on the narrow sunlit gap of rippling brown-green water between two wooden market boats, weathered gray gunwales visible at frame edges. The subject is a pair of hands — the vendor woman's warm sun-tanned hands passing a small woven bamboo basket brimming with ruby-red dew-beaded lychee and a few white jasmine sprigs into another pair of open receiving hands, fingers briefly overlapping at the basket's frayed rim in the moment of transfer. COMPOSITION & CAMERA: Extreme close-up, eye-level angle, upright and level on the vertical 9:16 canvas, no tilt, the overlapping hands and basket filling the center of the frame, shallow depth of field. LIGHTING: Warm honeyed golden morning sunlight from the upper right, soft and directional, glinting off the wet lychee and casting a gentle glow on the hands, soft teal-indigo shadow in the basket's depths and the water gap below. MOOD & ATMOSPHERE: Intimate, tender, rhythmic, communal — the quiet choreography of trade rendered as human touch. CHARACTER ACTION & EXPRESSION: Two sets of hands meet at the basket, fingers overlapping and briefly pressing in careful cooperation, the transfer gentle and practiced. COLORS: Dominant warm amber and gold, ruby lychee red, jasmine white, warm coral skin tones, teal-indigo shadow accents. TEXTURES & MATERIALS: Coarse split-bamboo weave, pebbled wet lychee skin, calloused warm skin, weathered gray boat wood, rippling water. DEPTH & LAYERS: Foreground — the overlapping hands and basket rim in crisp focus; midground — the fruit inside the basket and the boat gunwales; background — softly blurred glinting water and out-of-focus produce. WEATHER & PARTICLES: Tiny motes and a drifting jasmine petal in the warm air, faint steam off the water, last mist wisps dissolving. MICRO-DETAILS: A dewdrop sliding off a lychee at the moment of transfer, the frayed worn rim of the basket, a fingernail catching light, ripples spreading in the water gap below, pinpoint highlights on wet fruit. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Ghibli-style 2D animation, Victorian greenhouse aesthetic, blizzard outside, warm lantern light inside, lush greenery, 4K, cozy atmosphere" style.

Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - The River Vendor Woman: A warm-hearted woman in her late 40s with a sturdy, capable build and sun-kissed golden-brown skin. Round friendly face, laugh lines around bright dark eyes, and glossy black hair tied back in a loose bun beneath a checkered cloth scarf. She wears a simple short-sleeved floral blouse in soft coral and rolled cotton trousers, with a woven bamboo hat hanging at her back. Her hands are quick and gentle as they cradle baskets of ruby lychee and white jasmine. Morning golden light glows on her cheeks against a backdrop of stacked fruit crates and mist-softened boats. She exudes bustling warmth, generosity, and quiet joy.
