Timothy Brings Food to a Praying Widow

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

An aged widow looks up with a grateful smile as a kneeling man in a striped head-cloth takes her hands. A lamp burns and a basket of bread, oil and fruit sits beside them.

Prompt

1 Timothy 5: 'Honour widows that are widows indeed. Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.' In a bare little room in Ephesus, an aged widow kneels in prayer by a small oil lamp, and Timothy, entering with a basket of bread, oil and fruit from the church, kneels beside her and gently takes her worn hands; both large and close, her face lit with grateful peace. Warm golden evening light through a small window, simple whitewashed walls. Timothy wears a wrapped striped head-cloth and a plain brown wool mantle. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
