The Woman Touches the Hem of Jesus' Cloak

A kneeling woman in a worn mantle stretches her hand to touch the tasselled border of Jesus' cloak. Jesus looks down at her while a man in a white shawl stands behind and onlookers watch.

Prompt

Luke 8: the woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment. In a narrow, sunlit street of Capernaum, a frail woman in a faded mantle, large and central in the foreground, kneels and stretches out her trembling hand to touch the tasselled border of Jesus' cloak; Jesus, just behind her, has stopped and turned, looking down at her with tender compassion. Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, stands anxiously beside Jesus. Warm stone houses and a few onlookers softly blurred behind. The onlookers 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.
