Jeremiah Watches Craftsmen Gild a Wooden Idol

Prompt

Jeremiah 10: 'one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman... They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.' In a craftsman's workshop a carpenter hammers nails to fix a carved wooden idol upright while a goldsmith lays gold leaf on it. Jeremiah stands large and central in the foreground, watching with sorrowful scorn. Sunlight streams through the open doorway onto wood shavings. 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.
