Prompt
Stack short dense wax-and-oil paint strata with flattened deposits, dry scuffs and broad scraped windows that expose the colours beneath; a matte body with small local translucent variations and no glossy fluid blending. The Great Sphinx of Giza at dawn, a colossal limestone lion with a human head wearing the royal headcloth, couched on the desert with its paws stretched forward, the pyramids rising behind it and the empty desert dunes sweeping to the horizon, seen from a low angle at the sphinx's paws.
Light: the sun just clearing the horizon behind the pyramids as a scraped window of molten gold and rose throwing a long low raking light across the sphinx's face and flank in warm ochre while the sand and the deep shadows fall into violet, indigo and umber strata, a pale turquoise upper sky; palette of ochre, gold, rose, violet, indigo and turquoise; heavy, matte, monumental.
Wide 16:9 frame. A dignified, respectful depiction following traditional Egyptian iconography; no readable hieroglyphs, inscriptions, letters or logos anywhere, only plain decorative bands.
