A Mother Comforts Her Child Above a Peaceful River
A smiling mother holds her laughing child on her knees on a terrace. Travellers on horses and mules approach along a river below.
Prompt
Isaiah 66: As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you. A joyful Israelite mother, large and central, sits on the terrace of a rebuilt house in Jerusalem dandling her small child on her knees and holding him close, the child laughing; behind them a broad peaceful river flows past, and pilgrims from many nations come up toward the holy mountain on horses, mules and in litters. Warm radiant light, a mood of tender consolation. 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.
