Mechanical brass rose with glowing ruby clockwork core

A close-up, highly detailed shot of a single, intricate rose constructed entirely from polished brass, copper, and tiny clockwork gears. Its petals slowly unfurl, revealing a glowing, ruby-red core. Delicate, metallic vines with tiny, working cogs for leaves wrap around its stem. The background is a soft, deep velvet curtain, hinting at an antique, gothic setting, with subtle, diffused light catching the gleam of the metal. The style is hyperrealistic with a focus on metallic textures and intricate mechanisms. Steampunk, gothic, rose, clockwork, intricate, detailed, metallic, romantic.
