Prompt
Create an image of Edward Gibbon, a 18th-century British historian and writer, sitting at a desk with a quill in hand, surrounded by stacks of books and papers, with a backdrop of a classic library or study. He should be dressed in attire typical of the era, with a thoughtful expression on his face. Incorporate subtle hints of his notable work, "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire", such as a Roman-inspired vase or a map of the Roman Empire in the background. Render the image in a realistic, neoclassical style, with attention to detail and texture, reminiscent of 18th-century portraiture.
