Elder Judge Listens to a Poor Widow at the Gate

Prompt

Proverbs 29: The righteous considereth the cause of the poor; when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice. At the city gate, a white-bearded elder judge in a fine cream mantle sits large and central on a stone bench, leaning forward to listen with compassion as a poor widow in a dark head-veil, holding her small son's hand, pleads her cause before him; other elders sit beside him nodding. Morning sunlight through the stone gateway behind them. 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.
