Hyper-Realistic Image of Antique Human Skull on Dark Background

This image presents a macro view of an antique human skull, devoid of its lower jaw, set against a stark, black backdrop. The highly detailed bone texture appears strikingly lifelike, emphasizing the skull's age and fragility. Shadows play across the surface, creating a dramatic chiaroscuro effect. The style echoes the somber realism of Vanitas still life, crafting an expressive scene of elegance and mortality.
