I wrote this prompt to chase a specific Gérôme and Alma-Tadema bathhouse picture. The interesting part is how each model handles that polished academic finish and where the light lands. Watch the pool reflection and the mirror in the foreground, those shift the most between versions. The reference is linked below if you want to compare.
