- Generated anatomical reference (hunyuan-image-v3 on Venice, seed 7011): Side-view photograph-style reference for natural form, curvature, foreskin fold and scrotum, generated for this plate and checked against Gray 1918 / Veale 2015 / Schneider 2001 (length:width within 10 %, glans shrunk to the Schneider ratio, scrotum height within 4 % of the Gray testis length).
