Rahab Lowers the Spies by a Scarlet Cord

Rahab leans from a window in Jericho's wall holding a red cord while two men climb down it. The sky glows at sunset and palm trees stand below.

Prompt

Joshua 2: Rahab lets the two Israelite spies down by a cord through the window of her house built into the town wall of Jericho. Rahab leans out of the stone window, large and central, holding the bright scarlet cord with both hands, her face urgent and brave; the two spies climb down the cord against the wall beneath her. Late evening glow over the mudbrick wall, palm trees and the distant hills, warm amber lamplight from the window. 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.
