Prompt
Generate an image of a middle-aged man with a thoughtful expression, sitting in a library or study surrounded by books, with a subtle hint of a philosophical or introspective atmosphere. The man should be dressed in attire typical of an American academic from the mid-20th century. Incorporate elements that reflect his intellectual pursuits, such as papers, books, or a pipe. The style should be realistic, with a muted color palette that evokes a sense of seriousness and contemplation. The image should convey the essence of a philosopher and author at work.
