Jeremiah Looks at Two Baskets of Figs

Prompt

Jeremiah 24: 'two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the LORD. One basket had very good figs... and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten.' Jeremiah stands large and central in the temple court before two woven baskets on a stone step, one heaped with fresh, ripe purple figs, the other with rotten, shrivelled figs, looking from one to the other. Bright morning sunlight on the pale stone. 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.
