An Elegant White Gentleman in a Library - Oil Portrait

An elegant white man depicted in a classic oil painting, standing beside a towering mahogany bookshelf in a quiet library. He wears a tailored Victorian-era suit with a velvet waistcoat, a crisp white shirt, and a gold pocket watch chain. Warm golden light pours through tall windows, creating amber highlights on leather-bound volumes, wood paneling, and the man's composed, refined expression. Rich textures, visible brushstrokes, and soft chiaroscuro give the scene a timeless, contemplative mood. A faint layer of dust motes shimmers in the air, with a wooden library ladder resting in the background.
