Agabus Binds Himself with Paul's Belt

Agabus kneels with his hands and feet bound by a long cloth belt while Paul stands over him. Weeping friends are behind them.

Prompt

Acts 21: at Caesarea the prophet Agabus binds his own hands and feet with Paul's belt and foretells Paul's arrest in Jerusalem. Agabus kneels large and central on the floor of Philip's house, wrapping Paul's long cloth girdle around his own wrists and ankles, looking up gravely, while Paul stands close before him, calm and resolute, ready to go to Jerusalem. Weeping friends are softly blurred behind them; bright sea light streams through an open doorway. The friends wear wrapped turbans or head-cloths over their hair. 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.
