The Poor Widow Drops Two Mites

Prompt

Mark 12: the poor widow casts in her two mites. In the Court of the Women of Herod's temple, beside a bronze trumpet-shaped offering chest, a poor widow in a worn, faded shawl, large and central in the foreground, quietly lets fall two tiny copper coins from her thin hand, her face humble and peaceful; behind her a rich man in fine embroidered robes pours in a showy stream of gold. Close by on the right, Jesus sits on a stone step watching her with tender approval, Peter seated beside him. Warm golden light across the pale stone court. The rich man wears a wrapped turban over his 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.
