A lifelike, highly detailed sculpture of a raven, carved from a dark, obsidian-like stone with a glossy finish that catches subtle blue and indigo undertones in its feathers. Each feather is meticulously sculpted with sharp precision, creating a realistic and almost tangible texture. The raven stands majestically on a round, polished marble pedestal, adorned with intricate vine and leaf engravings that add an elegant, Gothic touch. The background features a dimly lit, classical art gallery with a mysterious ambiance, where soft, directional lighting casts dramatic shadows. The scene includes marble busts of historical figures in regal poses, their expressions stoic and lifelike, framed in gilded, ornate frames that add to the luxurious atmosphere. The overall composition emphasizes deep contrast between the dark raven and the pale marble, with a mood of timeless elegance and quiet intensity, perfect for a scene inspired by classic Gothic art and literature
