Prompt
Create a realistic portrait of a middle-aged man from the mid-20th century, dressed in casual, yet refined attire, possibly with a pen in hand and a book or manuscript nearby. The subject should have a gentle, introspective expression, with a hint of a smile. He is to be depicted in a study or library setting, with bookshelves and possibly a desk or writing table in the background. The style should be reminiscent of a classic, timeless literary author. The man is Nevil Shute, a British novelist and engineer, best known for his works such as "A Town Like Alice", "On the Beach", and "Pied Piper". Capture his essence as a thoughtful writer and engineer.
