Prompt
Create a realistic portrait of a Victorian-era woman in her late 50s, sitting in a elegant, dimly lit study with books and papers surrounding her. She has a gentle, yet determined expression on her face. She is dressed in formal, high-necked attire with a lace collar and a brooch. Her hair is styled in a neat, bun-like fashion. In the background, a subtle hint of a cityscape, possibly London, can be seen through a window. The overall atmosphere should convey a sense of intelligence, creativity, and social awareness. The woman is Mary Augusta Ward, a renowned British novelist, social worker, and women's rights advocate, best known for her influential novels such as "Robert Elsmere" and "Marcella".
