Image 1 is the character reference: keep this same young man, same face, same copper-red curly hair, same long dark navy coat, white shirt, thin dark tie, dark trousers, brown boots, paper coffee cup and slim tightly furled closed black umbrella with a wooden crook handle. Images 2 and 3 are style references only: copy their painting manner exactly, simple flat gouache shapes, clean graphic silhouettes, very little detail, big calm areas of pale colour, soft washed background fading into white mist. Do not copy any person, place or object from images 2 and 3. Scene: low angle looking up between two tall pale brick buildings. A large white bedsheet has come off a washing line high above and is falling, a woman leaning from a balcony reaches after it. In the lower foreground our tall thin hero looks slightly upward with half-closed eyes, coffee in one hand, and with the tip of his raised closed umbrella catches the falling sheet and flicks it back up toward the line. Dry calm day, few details, no crowd. No text, no logos, no watermark.
