Photorealistic Scholar Navigating a Hedge Maze at Dawn

Photorealistic image of a scholarly figure in a vintage tweed suit with a wool waistcoat and round glasses, standing at a crossroads inside a towering boxwood hedge maze. He holds a weathered leather-bound book in one hand and an old parchment map in the other. Dawn light filters through the dense green canopy, casting dappled gold on the gravel path and mossy hedge walls. The scene shows high-detail textures: fabric fibers, leather, parchment, dew on leaves, and the scholar's thoughtful expression as he studies the map. Long shadows, slight mist, and a distant carved sundial add atmosphere; the perspective is slightly low and the depth of field keeps the foreground sharp while the background fades into soft bokeh.
