Jeremiah Comforts Baruch at His Table

Prompt

Jeremiah 45: 'Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow... seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not.' Baruch the scribe sits large and central, weary, among his writing tools and rolled scrolls, head in his hand, while Jeremiah stands close beside him with a hand on his shoulder, comforting him. Warm lamplight and soft evening glow. 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.
