# Gustavian Style (グスタヴィアン様式) — image generation prompt

# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images in the visual language of Gustavian Style, a style from Furniture and Interiors, 1770s–1790s.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: separating a Nordic interior from a French court one, starting with the light fittings, or working out how to swap an expensive material for a cheaper local one without losing rank. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- A reserved neoclassical outline copied directly from Louis XVI forms
- Small clear glass beads standing in for carved rock crystal drops
- A little cobalt blue glass set among otherwise colourless glass
- Gilt metal chains and mounts left visible as the structure holding the glass

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: Keep the symmetrical neoclassical frame and build height by stacking tiers. Hold ornament inside the silhouette so restraint of form comes first
- Type and lettering: Objects carry no lettering. Where a room name or label is needed, set a fine roman small and place it on undecorated ground
- Material and surface: Use locally made glass in place of carved luxury material. Build mainly from colourless glass beads, add a little cobalt blue, and link it with gilt metal
- Colour: #C9CFD2 carries the ground, #B99B5B is the colour the style is remembered by, #2A4A8C holds text and outlines. Read off real works, so treat them as a direction rather than a fixed palette.
- What it should feel like: luxury, calm

## What goes wrong

Chasing French court opulence through sheer quantity loses the point, which is holding rank while substituting a cheaper local material.

## 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.
