# Eastlake (イーストレイク様式) — image generation prompt
# IndexStyle No.528 — https://indexstyle.org/styles/eastlake-style
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images in the visual language of Eastlake, a style from Furniture and Interiors, 19th century–.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: unifying a house exterior and its fittings through one vocabulary of furniture parts, or building sets or backgrounds that reconstruct a nineteenth century American street. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- Columns shaped like thickened table legs
- Curved brackets repeating at even intervals under eaves and porch roofs
- Lathe-turned spindles filling railings and the head of a porch
- Knobs pierced with circular perforations set where members meet

Someone who knows this style should be able to point at each of these in the finished image.

## How to build it

- Layout and structure: Leave no large blank plane, and score horizontals and verticals with columns, spindles and brackets at even spacing
- Type and lettering: Cut or raise signage lettering to the same depth as the woodwork, because thin faces lose against the ornament
- Material and surface: Restrict every form to what a lathe and a scroll saw can make, combining turned spindles, circular perforations and curved supports
- Colour: #E5D6B8 carries the ground, #8C4A2F is the colour the style is remembered by, #3E5B4A holds text and outlines. Read off real works, so treat them as a direction rather than a fixed palette.
- What it should feel like: nostalgia, play, technique

## What goes wrong

Scaling furniture parts up to building size removes the hand-held proportion they were derived from, and the ornament starts to look like models glued onto a wall.

## Across the four

Keep every cue above present in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows the range this style covers rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period language described above.
