## Prompt

```text
Create a romantic 19th-century oil painting titled {painting_title}, showing exactly 4 Victorian birdwatchers on a rugged coastal cliff at sunset. The scene is viewed from slightly behind and to the left, looking out over a vast blue-gray ocean with cliffs receding into the distance, the low orange sun near the horizon, and a pale sky filled with roughly 90 dark seabirds in loose migrating formations. At the far left stands a small weathered stone hut with a slate roof, dark open doorway, one small window, and rough masonry texture. The 4 birdwatchers are all men in dark long coats and brimmed hats: 1 standing beside the hut using a handheld brass spyglass, 1 seated near him facing the sea, 1 seated in the foreground left writing or sketching in an open notebook, and 1 central foreground figure crouched or seated at a brass telescope mounted on a wooden tripod. Include exactly 2 optical instruments: the handheld spyglass and the tripod telescope. Add exactly 4 visible naturalist study items in the foreground: 1 open sketchbook on the left man’s lap, 1 loose illustrated bird plate leaning against a crate, 1 open bird-illustration book on a dark trunk near the telescope, and 1 scattered notebook or paper bundle beside the crates. Also include a metal kettle on a wooden crate, a dark satchel, a few white feathers, rocks, dry grasses, and wind-worn earth. Use {art_style} with visible brushwork, muted earth tones, marine blues, soft golden sunset light, atmospheric haze, and museum-quality composition. The mood should be contemplative, scholarly, windswept, and poetic, emphasizing humans quietly observing nature rather than posing for the viewer. No modern clothing, no modern buildings, no text labels, no watermark.
