Ephraimite Farmer Sets a Boundary Stone
An Ephraimite man holds a small stone in one hand and a clay jar in the other, with two men behind him and terraced hills and a village beyond.
Prompt
Joshua 16: The children of Joseph receive their lot, and Ephraim takes possession of its inheritance in the hill country. A weathered middle-aged Ephraimite farmer wearing a striped head-cloth and a brown work tunic, with his young son, large and central, sets up a boundary stone at the edge of their new land, pressing the stone into place while the boy watches proudly. Behind them terraced green hills of Ephraim with olive trees and a small village under a fresh morning sky. 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.
