Elderly Figure in Renaissance-style Attire

An elderly figure in Renaissance-style attire, their entire form visible, with medium brown hair and traditional footwear, pauses from working at a hardwood manual kick-wheel potter's wheel, cup in hand, to gaze with a curious expression at a vibrant, multicolor ceramic piggy bank of traditional pig form resting nearby. The scene is illuminated by cool, dramatic hard light casting strong shadows and creating a rim effect from backlighting, striped by Venetian blind patterns that form leading lines guiding the eye, all set against a backdrop where heat haze distorts the distant horizon.
