  • Prompt: A hyperrealistic scene featuring Bartleby, from Herman Melville’s Bartleby, the Scrivener, standing beside a vintage furnace labeled "DEAD LETTERS," feeding it with a stack of undelivered letters. Bartleby's very pale young face unbearded and almost white curly hair contrast starkly with the warm glow of the fire, emphasizing his ghostly presence and emotional emptiness. The room shows a clear matisse's patterned tapestry adorning the walls (with no frame), adding a sense of complexity and quiet opulence to the setting. The floor is of varnished rich wood. The space is orderly, with no signs of chaos apart from the letters being meticulously handled. Acrylic paint is used to render a clear, precise design, capturing the subtle nuances of Bartleby's resigned expression, the smooth texture of the letters, and the contrast between light and shadow. Subtle surrealist elements, such as the symbolic furnace and an aura of timelessness, evoke a melancholic and dreamlike atmosphere. The balance between hyperrealism and symbolic undertones creates a scene rich in emotional depth and clarity
