Nehemiah Weeps at News of Jerusalem's Wall

Prompt

Nehemiah 1: In Shushan the palace, Nehemiah hears from his brother Hanani that the wall of Jerusalem is broken down and its gates burned with fire, and he sits down and weeps. Nehemiah, the king's cupbearer in fine Persian court robes and a wrapped headdress, sits large and central on a stone bench in a palace colonnade, his face in anguish and tears on his cheeks; Hanani, dusty from the long journey in a traveller's cloak and head covering, kneels beside him gripping his arm as he tells the news. Behind them glazed-brick walls and columns of the Persian palace in warm late-afternoon light. 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.
