Art style: Dark Gothic Fantasy.
A single wooden chess piece, a knight, stands alone on a chessboard. It is lit from above by a brass desk lamp, casting a long, dramatic shadow that stretches across the squares. The rest of the board is in deep shadow. The setting is a quiet, scholarly study. The mood is strategic and calculating. Warm wood tones, brass highlights, and heavy blacks.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Dark Gothic Fantasy" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Dark Gothic Fantasy". 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 "Dark Gothic Fantasy" idiom, not in any other medium.
