High-key studio editorial photograph, 3:2 landscape. Overhead view of one inherited pleated wool folk skirt resting on a matte off-white worktable. Ochre cloth, a broad rust-red hem band and a narrow charcoal border; traditional construction without ornate embroidery. The waistband sits toward the upper left, with loosely opened pleats making an uneven fan and the curved hem sweeping across the lower frame. Show the whole garment with breathing room, especially at upper right. No props or people. Large studio skylight provides bright, cloud-filtered daylight; a passing cloud produces a subtle cooler falloff across the right side while shadows remain open. Quiet documentary realism, natural colour, realistic exposure, modest visible weave and irregular folds, no artificially aged fabric. Sharp across the garment, restrained detail, no HDR or added grain. No text, logos or watermarks.
