Photorealistic Scholar in a Mountain Cave

A photorealistic scene of a scholarly figure in a rugged mountain cave. Inside the warm amber glow of a lantern and a crackling fire, a middle-aged scholar sits at a carved wooden desk cluttered with leather-bound books, rolled parchments, maps, a quill and ink. He wears wool robes and a fur-lined cloak; a contemplative, weathered face with glasses perched on his nose. The cave walls are rough stone with stalactites, damp moss, and faint ancient carvings; dust motes shimmer in the beam of light. The cave mouth reveals snow-dusted peaks and a cold mist outside. Realistic textures: skin, fabric weave, leather, wood grain, and stone; cinematic lighting with deep shadows and volumetric light; hyperrealistic, 8k rendering.
