Lois and Eunice Teach Young Timothy the Scriptures

Prompt

2 Timothy 1: 'When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice.' In the sunlit courtyard of their home in Lystra, the grandmother Lois and the mother Eunice sit large and central on a low bench with the young boy Timothy, about eight years old, between them; Lois unrolls a scroll of the holy scriptures across her lap and points along it as Eunice puts her arm around the boy, who listens with wide, eager eyes. Warm golden afternoon light, a vine on the wall and the hills of Lycaonia beyond. The writing on the scroll is tiny, faint Hebrew script, unreadable. 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.
