Young King Copies the Law

Prompt

Deuteronomy 17: When Israel has a king, he shall write him a copy of this law in a book and read therein all the days of his life. A young king in simple royal robes and a plain gold circlet sits at a wooden table, large and central, carefully writing on a long scroll with a reed pen, his face humble and attentive, a white-robed Levite priest standing beside him holding an older rolled scroll. Warm window light in a modest stone room; the writing on the scroll is tiny, faint and unreadable. 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.
