The Art of Writing: The illustration depicts an open book with a pen resting on top of it. The book is old and worn, with yellowed pages that are slightly curled at the edges. The cover is made of leather or a similar material and has a subtle sheen to it. The title of the book is not visible, but there appears to be some text on the spine. The pen lies across the top page of the book, its tip pointing downwards towards the bottom of the image. It is a simple metal pen with no discernible decorations or engravings. The background behind the book and pen is dark gray, which helps to create a sense of depth and contrast in the illustration.
