Young Man Declines the Ruler's Banquet Cup

Prompt

Proverbs 23: When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee; be not desirous of his dainties. A young Israelite man in a clean cream tunic sits large and central at a lavish banquet table in a ruler's lamplit hall, laden with roast meats, fruit, honey cakes and red wine in a golden cup; he keeps his hands still in his lap and his face thoughtful and restrained, quietly declining the cup a servant offers him. The richly robed host reclines at the end of the table behind him. Warm golden lamplight in the evening. 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.
