A gallery’s authority rests on its catalogue: every work attributed, every description exact. AI series drift when the catalogue is written from memory — the muse re-described at every job, and memory edits as it goes. Write her down once, in an entry you paste rather than retype.
Five fixed lines, always in order
Age — a number, and in this hall a mature one. Hair — colour, length and one habitual style. Build — two or three words. Face — one or two details that endure every crop. Signature — the pin, the mark, the detail that survives a tight frame. Everything else belongs to the changing line: outfit, room, hour, light. Changing lines are meant to change. Entry lines are not.
State lines plainly and positively; adjectives are reinterpreted at every attempt. Version the entry when she is deliberately changed, with a date, so an earlier hang can be reproduced exactly.
Working from the entry
Pair the entry with changing lines that share one room and one light, generate at the standard 6-credit cost, and keep the best third. Spend on restoration, transfers and upscales only after the cull. A frame that returns off character almost always traces to the entry: a contradiction, or a line too vague to hold her.
What an entry cannot do
It cannot hold a muse who was never decided. Decide her on paper first; the entry is where the decision is catalogued, hang after hang.
