Prompt
Create a realistic portrait of John Ralston Saul, a middle-aged Canadian man with a distinguished appearance, sitting in a thoughtful pose with a book or manuscript nearby, reflecting his work as a writer, philosopher, and essayist; incorporate subtle hints of his notable works, such as a faint image of Voltaire's portrait in the background or a copy of "Voltaire's Bastards" on his desk; convey a sense of intellectualism and introspection, with a muted color palette and soft lighting; style: a photorealistic oil painting or a high-resolution digital portrait.
