Clockwork serpent on a Victorian desk in warm gaslight

A majestic, winding serpent of intricate clockwork and brass gears sits enthroned on a Victorian-era mahogany desk. A delicate, steam-powered automaton gently pours tea from a porcelain teapot into a broken porcelain cup. The scene is bathed in warm gaslight, casting long shadows across stacks of old books and parchments. Style: A richly detailed steampunk illustration with photorealistic elements, reminiscent of H. R. Giger's intricate mechanical constructions and Caravaggio's atmospheric lighting.
