Prompt

Generate a realistic portrait of Cornelius Mathews, an American writer, editor, and literary critic, in a 19th-century style. Depict him as a middle-aged man with a thoughtful expression, wearing formal attire, sitting at a desk with a pen in hand, surrounded by papers, books, and a few literary artifacts. The background should be a warm, wood-paneled study with a hint of a New York City skyline outside the window. Incorporate subtle hints of his literary works, such as a title page of "Wakondah" or "The Career of Puffer Hopkins" on the desk or a bookshelf. The overall mood should be one of contemplative creativity.
