Prompt
Create a realistic portrait of James Alan McPherson, an American writer, essayist, and professor, in a contemplative pose, perhaps with a book or pen in hand, reflecting his literary contributions, including notable works such as "Elbow Room" and "Hue and Cry", with a background that subtly suggests his academic and literary career, such as a university setting or a study, in a style that conveys dignity and intellectual depth, suitable for representing a renowned figure who was awarded an Emmy Award and a MacArthur Fellowship.
