Poor Family Shares a Meal of Herbs and Bread

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

A father breaks flatbread for his laughing family seated on a mat with herbs, lentils and olives. An oil lamp burns beside them in a stone house.

Prompt

Proverbs 15: Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. A poor but happy Israelite family, a father, a mother in a head-veil and two small children, sit together on a mat around a simple meal of flatbread, green herbs, olives and a bowl of lentils in their humble one-room stone house, large and central, laughing together as the father breaks the bread. Warm golden light from a clay oil lamp and the evening glow through the doorway. 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.
