Old King David Plays His Harp in Jerusalem

Prompt

Psalm 71: "Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails... O God, you have taught me from my youth... Now also when I am old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not... I will also praise you with the psaltery... to you will I sing with the harp." The aged King David, white-haired and white-bearded, sits by an open window in his palace with an old, well-worn wooden harp in his lap, plucking its strings with weathered hands and singing softly, his eyes lifted with deep, peaceful trust. He is large and central, close to the camera. Warm golden late-afternoon light pours through the window across his face and the harp; beyond, the rooftops of Jerusalem. 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.
