Prompt snippets

James II of England is portrayed as a stately 17th-century monarch with long, dark, wavy hair framing a noble face. He wears a neatly trimmed mustache and a small pointed beard, giving him an air of gravitas. His clothing reflects the opulence of the Restoration court — a richly embroidered velvet doublet with gold thread and jeweled buttons, voluminous lace cuffs, and a white cravat of fine linen cascading at his neck. Over his shoulders drapes a luxurious silk sash of the Order of the Garter, often paired with a deep red or royal blue cloak lined in ermine. Polished armor or ornate ribbons complete his attire, symbolizing both regal authority and martial prowess.
