Starving Mother and Child Among Jerusalem's Ruins

Prompt

Lamentations 4: The young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them. A starving mother of Jerusalem, large and central, sits against a ruined wall in a desolate street holding her thin child close, the child reaching up and asking for bread; around them lie tumbled stones of the sanctuary and a dented, dulled golden vessel half buried in the dust. Strong clear sunlight, a mood of quiet anguish. 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.
