I wrote this one to chase a reference photo, and I'm linking it at the bottom so you can judge the gap yourself. Watch the skin first, since some versions blend it smooth while others leave visible stroke edges. Then check the headscarf stripes and the coin necklaces, because that's where the detail either holds or turns to mush. The arched wall behind her is worth a look too.

All good, and I can't really decide which version I like better. Unlike the blonde beauty the other day, the AI models seem to give this lady quite a bit of variations.
