Christian Mother Receives a Sealed Letter

Prompt

2 John 1: 'The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth... I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth.' At the doorway of a stone house with a vine over the door, a dignified Christian matron stands large and central, receiving a rolled and sealed papyrus letter from a travel-dusty messenger, her grown son and young daughter beside her looking on with joy. Bright morning sunlight, warm whitewashed walls and blue sky; gladness and love. The men 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.
