Lima Baker Holding Flatbread at Dawn

Soft, overcast dawn light floods a Lima workshop, illuminating a baker standing before a tall window. The subject wears a flour-dusted white apron over dark clothing, hands cradling a large, round flatbread with a golden-brown crust and charred spots. Fine particles of flour hang suspended in the air, catching the pale morning glow. Behind the figure, a metal tray rests on a wooden counter, reflecting the diffuse light with a cool sheen. The shallow depth of field blurs the background into soft shapes of kitchen tools and stone walls, keeping focus on the baker's steady gaze and the warm texture of the bread. A faint reflection of the window frame glimmers on the polished metal surface to the right.
