Shiphrah and Puah Stand Before Pharaoh

Prompt

Exodus 1: the Hebrew midwives Shiphrah and Puah stand before Pharaoh, who has commanded them to kill the Hebrew baby boys. The two women stand large and close in the foreground, calm, brave and God-fearing, hands folded, while Pharaoh leans forward from his gilded throne behind them, stern and suspicious. A sunlit Egyptian throne hall with painted columns and warm golden light falling between them; the mood is tense but full of quiet courage. 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.
