Joseph Sold to the Ishmaelite Traders

Prompt

Genesis 37: at Dothan, Joseph's jealous brothers pull him up out of the dry pit and sell him to a caravan of Ishmaelite traders for twenty pieces of silver. Seventeen-year-old Joseph stands large and central, stripped of his coat, his wrists bound with rope, looking back in anguish at his brothers; Judah stands beside him taking the silver coins from a trader's hand, while Joseph's coat of many colours lies on the ground near the stone rim of the pit. Laden camels and the open sunlit hills of Dothan behind. The mood is betrayal, grief and drama. 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.
