Time stop

A moment frozen in time, where the hands of a vintage clock are halted at exactly midnight. The clock is situated on a rich mahogany table with a dimly lit antique lamp next to it. The scene is draped in warm, soft ambient light, casting long gentle shadows. In the background, a muted gold velvet drapery gives a rich, timeless backdrop. An open, forgotten book lies in front of the clock, its browsed pages slightly curved. A pair of elegantly designed reading glasses rests on the aged pages.
