Widow and Son Receive the Third-Year Tithe
A widow and her smiling son sit at a town gate receiving grain and bread from baskets, with a jar of oil beside them.
Prompt
Deuteronomy 14: The tithe of the third year is laid up within the gates, and the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless and the widow come and eat and are satisfied. A widow and her young son sit large and central at the town gate, receiving bread, grain and a jar of oil from baskets of tithe; the boy smiles as he holds a loaf. Warm golden light on stone gateway walls, generous and joyful. 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.
