A painterly illustration of Thor standing on weathered stone steps, gripping Mjolnir with his head bowed in contemplation. His muscular physique is rendered with realistic detail, blonde hair falling across his face, while a vibrant crimson cape billows dramatically behind him. Muted earth tones and cool stone grays dominate the palette, with the red cape providing the sole vivid accent. The mood is solemn, burdened, and mythically tragic.
