A pensive man in his 40s with a neatly trimmed beard, wearing a linen blazer, blue shirt with top button undone, ascending a spiral staircase surrounded by film reels, considering which auteur directors to showcase.

Prominent visual rhythm created by geometric shadows and lines, photorealistic by Alex Katz. --s 250
