Mona Lisa SVG Challenge Opus 5.5 vs Sol 6.1
A developer community is hosting a "Mona Lisa SVG Challenge" with strict rules. Participants are forbidden from using reference images, tracing, vectorizing, or auto-converting any image. All shapes must be self-authored, either directly or through custom code that doesn't take an image as input. The final SVG file must be under 100 KB, with a canvas size of 600 x 900 (viewBox="0 0 600 900"). The challenge compares "Opus 5.5" and "Sol 6.1" versions.

After realizing Sol clearly used a tracing technique based on the actual image, I tightened up the prompt:
Create the Mona Lisa as a single SVG file, drawn entirely from your own knowledge of the painting.
Rules: - Do not search for, download, view, or use any reference image of the painting. - No tracing, vectorizing, or auto-converting any image, and no embedded raster data ( , base64, etc.). - Every shape must be authored by you, either directly or through code you write that does not take an image as input. - Keep the final file under 100 KB. - Canvas: 600 x 900 (viewBox="0 0 600 900").
Aim for the most faithful and artistically convincing version you can: composition, proportions, the face and smile, the hands, the landscape, and the overall color and mood of the original. Gradients, filters, and blur are all allowed.
