Studio Ghibli style, hand-painted watercolor background with soft pencil linework and gentle film grain; a wide establishing shot of ancient Israel under relentless drought: foreground a field of sun-bleached, cracked earth like a spiderweb, scattered with withered wheat stalks and a toppled clay water jar; a hot wind lifts fine dust and a tattered ribbon flutters from a dry olive branch. Midground: stone granaries with doors yawning open, shelves bare except for a few husks and chaff drifting across the floor; idle rope pulleys and empty amphorae lie on their sides. Background: pale limestone hills and the washed-out walls of David’s palace wavering in heat haze beneath a high, pitiless white sun; two distant ravens circle lazily. Through a shaded palace arcade we glimpse King David seated in profile on a simple wooden throne, his harp resting unused at his side, advisors clustered by carved cedar pillars, heads inclined as anxious whispers pass between drawn, tired faces; robes rustle softly in the stillness. Harsh light outside, cool dusty shafts inside catching drifting motes; muted ochres, dry siennas, desaturated blues and pale turquoise shadows. Mood: somber and tense, breath held, the land and the court waiting for rain that will not come; subtle heat shimmer, long shadows, and an oppressive, expectant hush.
