1940s Private Detective in a Rainy Noir Street

Prompt
Create a 1940’s Private Detective. He is wearing a period correct three-piece suit and an open overcoat. He is leaning against a period correct streetlight at night. Rain puddles are seen in the street. His fedora is rakishly tilted over one eye. He has a lit cigar clamped between his teeth in a slight scowl. The cigar tip is glowing and smoke swirls from the lit tip. The scene is created in a hyperreal sculptural style, vintage noir atmosphere, desaturated taupe and charcoal tones, richly accented with deep rust, muted green, and pale cream, controlled lighting with soft shadows, centralized composition, aged textures and minimal color saturation.
