Middle-aged man, bespectacled, balding, beard, serious facial expression, holding a pencil, wearing a casual button-down shirt, khaki pants, brown loafers, standing in front of a desk with papers scattered all over, political cartoon sketches pinned to a corkboard, American flag in the background, cityscape through the window, afternoon sunlight streaming in, soft shadows, subtle texture on clothes and furniture, warm color palette, 3/4 composition, shallow depth of field.
