Photorealistic scene of people in ancient China dining and laughing in a rustic tavern, with steam rising from food.

Photorealistic scene of young people in Han Dynasty China gathered in a lively street tavern, eating, drinking, laughing and making merry. Wooden tables and stools, steam rising from clay pots, simple earthenware bowls filled with noodles, dumplings, stews, vegetables, and plates of pork. Clay cups and jars of rice wine on the tables. Patrons wear plain hemp and cotton robes with simple belts, cloth shoes, some with felt hats or headscarves; slightly dusty from travel and work, relaxed postures and animated gestures. Tavern interior made of timber and mudbrick, hanging lanterns and paper window screens, bundles of herbs drying from rafters. Open doorway to a busy street with merchants and signs in Han-style calligraphy. Warm lamplight mixed with daylight, realistic textures, lightly smoky air, ultra-detailed documentary photograph style, authentic Han Dynasty setting, no modern objects. See more
