A photorealistic scene of a man holding a black box and a woman in a dress facing each other in a rural village square, surrounded by villagers.

A realistic scene of Tessie Hutchinson, a flustered woman in her 30s with light brown hair tied back, wearing 1940s-style rural clothing (a simple dress and apron), arriving at a village square. She is talking to Mr. Summers, a middle-aged man in a white shirt, rolled-up sleeves, and suspenders, holding a black box. They are surrounded by a small crowd of villagers in modest old-fashioned clothes. The lighting is soft morning light, and the mood is tense but casual, just before the lottery begins. Set in a 1940s rural American village, with dirt roads and wooden buildings in the background. See more
