Elders Mourn Beside Jerusalem's Fallen Gate

Prompt

Lamentations 2: The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground and keep silence. Grey-bearded elders of Jerusalem, large and central, sit in silence on the ground in sackcloth with dust thrown on their heads, beside a great city gate that has sunk into the ground with its bars broken; young women stand behind them with their heads bowed. The prophet Jeremiah stands among them, weeping. Broken stones and charred beams lie around, bright clear light, a mood of stunned mourning. The men wear wrapped turbans or head-cloths over their hair. 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.
