Watercolor Scholar Inside a Snow Globe

Inside a clear glass snow globe, a detailed watercolor scene depicts a scholar in a cozy study. A wooden desk is cluttered with parchment, an ink bottle, a silver quill, and a stack of weathered books. The scholar, wearing a flowing robe and reading glasses, sits by a warm amber lamp that casts a gentle glow over the scene. Delicate snow falls outside the globe, visible through the glass with slight refraction. The outer base is a dark polished wood. Use traditional watercolor techniques: soft washes, delicate color bleeding, subtle granulation, and luminous whites. Palette of creamy ivory, warm browns, muted blues and greens, with touches of gold. Glass reflections and tiny air bubbles add realism. The overall mood is quiet, contemplative, magical, and timeless, like a lost study preserved in glass.
