I made a simple web UI[1] for generating images like this. It uses a Go library by Michael Fogleman[2] for all the heavy lifting—hat’s off to him.
For Bézier curves in particular, iteratively constraining the search around initial matches seems key to retaining detail (see the “rep” argument in Fogleman’s work), for example in the eyes of the Vermeer portrait in the OP.

IMO, a key passage that's buried:
"You can ask the agent for advice on ways to improve your application, but be really careful; it loves to “improve” things, and is quick to suggest adding abstraction layers, etc. Every single idea it gives you will seem valid, and most of them will seem like things that you should really consider doing. RESIST THE URGE..."
A thousand times this. LLMs love to over-engineer things. I often wonder how much of this is attributable to the training data...
