Website adaptations: crop, colour grading, background treatment and responsive WebP encoding. The v2 monumental composition uses a new hand-traced transparent silhouette, stronger marble contrast and a custom editorial frame. Responsive derivatives: athena-sculpture.webp and athena-sculpture-small.webp. The refined framed portrait crops the same artwork to optically centre the full head: athena-portrait.webp and athena-portrait-small.webp. This treatment is a brand illustration, not a claim of museum affiliation or endorsement.

Original line illustrations
---------------------------
The owl, olive tree and aegis/shield illustrations and Aithene mark were authored for this website rebuild. The refined olive tree, faceted aegis shield and connected decorative olive branch are original inline vector drawings.
