Ancient clockwork owl above a crumbling mossy library

A colossal, ancient clockwork owl with gleaming brass gears and delicate embellishments perches atop a dilapidated, moss-covered library. Books bearing mysterious symbols tumble from broken shelves, and ethereal beams of light drift through the air. The style is painterly-realistic with a touch of steampunk aesthetics, evoking forgotten knowledge and quiet wonder. Inspired by the works of Simon Stålenhag, with lighting reminiscent of Rembrandt.
