Desolate 18th-century London street scene at dawn, empty market stalls, a few forlorn figures, including the 35-year-old male investor with an earnest face, powdered wig, smart linen coat, waistcoat, average build, now looking utterly defeated, sitting slumped on a cold stone step, head in hands, abandoned financial documents scattered around him, wide establishing shot, cold, muted blue-gray lighting, photorealistic historical drama. No modern elements, no text.
