Prompt
Create a portrait of William Thomas Brande, a 19th-century British chemist and author, sitting at a desk with a backdrop of a laboratory or a study, surrounded by books and scientific equipment. He should be dressed in formal attire, with a thoughtful expression, holding a quill pen and a book, likely a copy of his notable work, "Brande's Manual of Chemistry". The style should be realistic and reminiscent of Victorian-era portraiture.
