Homme lisant près d'une fenêtre pluvieuse

A cinematic medium shot from behind and three-quarter angle of [a man with short, graying hair] standing indoors, facing a large rainy window. He is wearing [a long, dark navy blue coat] and intently reading [an open white document] held in his hands. The window glass is covered with heavy vertical rain streaks, distorting the nocturnal city outside into an abstract blur of deep blues, warm gold lights, and traces of red, with illuminated sign lettering partially visible as ["...BARBATES..."]. Polished dark wood paneling frames the left side, and [a dark blue velvet banquette] lines the base of the window. Atmospheric, moody lighting contrasting the cool night ambience with warm golden reflections on the wet glass.
