Prompt
Create an image of a middle-aged man with a contemplative expression, sitting at a desk surrounded by stacks of old books and papers, with a subtle background of a map of the Mediterranean. The man should be dressed in formal, mid-20th-century French attire, with a pen in hand and a notebook in front of him. The style should be a realistic, formal portrait, conveying a sense of intellectualism and historical significance. The subject is Fernand Braudel, a renowned French historian, and the image should reflect his profession and notable works.
