Republican Era Scholars on a Bench

Three male intellectuals of the Republic of China era sitting side by side on a wooden bench, extremely shallow depth of field, blurred crowd of Republican era students in background. Left man: handlebar mustache, small round metal rimmed glasses, worn dark gray mandarin collar long gown, hands clasped on knees, solemn and dignified. Middle man: neatly combed black hair, no glasses, deep black mandarin collar long gown, arms crossed, brows furrowed, eyes filled with indignation and sorrow. Right man: thin round rimmed glasses, crisp dark suit, white shirt and tie, sits upright, serious expression. All face forward, gazes firm, conveying era defining mission to save the nation. Low saturation warm gray tones, soft side backlight outlining contours, natural light and shadow on faces, heavy textured composition. 35mm film grain, historical drama cinematic style, 8K ultra HD, hyper detailed. --ar 16:9 --hd
