Prompt
Generate a realistic portrait of Joseph Bates, an American minister and author, in a 19th-century style painting.

In the background, subtly hint at his naval career with a model ship or a flag. Capture his kind and introspective personality, conveying a sense of wisdom and spiritual leadership. Style: Realistic, with a touch of classic American art from the 1800s.
