A somber, snowy landscape with a child silhouette, a horse, and ruined houses, rendered in a vintage illustration style.

Create a somber, minimalistic book cover illustration set during World War II. In the foreground, a lone child silhouette stands quietly, wrapped in a worn coat, facing away from the viewer. The background shows a bleak, snow-covered village in ruins, with muted grays, blues, and whites dominating the color palette. Near the child, include a small, sturdy horse with a gentle posture, symbolizing companionship. The ground is dusted with snow, and partially buried is a subtle piece of a German soldier’s uniform—perhaps a helmet or belt buckle—faded and half-covered by snow and dirt. The overall mood should be cold, reflective, and quiet, evoking themes of loss, survival, and hope. Use a vintage photograph texture overlay to give the image an aged, historical feel. See more
