Transform this image into a pen-and-ink drawing in the style of Pushkin's manuscript illustrations, while strictly preserving the exact facial features, expression, and costume from the attached reference photo of Andreev. The building behind him — "МУЗЫКАЛЬНЫЕ КУРСЫ" — must be EXACTLY as in the attached reference image of the building. CRITICAL — CHARACTER ACCURACY (MAXIMUM PRIORITY): Andreev: Must remain EXACTLY as in the reference photo — his specific face, eyes, nose, mouth, cheekbones, blond hair, and expression. His face must be immediately recognizable. Do not alter, idealize, or generalize his features — only change the rendering technique to ink lines. Costume: Must be EXACTLY as in the reference — he wears a light summer suit (white or light-colored jacket, light trousers, white shirt). NOT a black tailcoat. This is a summer costume — lightweight fabric, lighter colors. Do not change it to a dark or formal winter coat. Expression: His face shows surprise, amusement, or mild irony — he has just discovered his own caricature in the newspaper. DO NOT change, idealize, or generalize his face. Keep every unique, specific feature from the reference photo. Preserve his hairstyle and hair color exactly as in the reference photo (blond). BUILDING ACCURACY (CRITICAL): The building "МУЗЫКАЛЬНЫЕ КУРСЫ": Must be EXACTLY as in the attached reference photo — identical facade, proportions, windows, columns or pilasters, architectural details, and sign with the Cyrillic text "МУЗЫКАЛЬНЫЕ КУРСЫ". Do not alter, generalize, or substitute the building with any other building. The sign: Must be clearly visible above the entrance, with "МУЗЫКАЛЬНЫЕ КУРСЫ" in ornate 19th-century Cyrillic letters, exactly matching the reference. Scene: Saint Petersburg street, late 19th century, summer daytime. Andreev stands in front of the building "МУЗЫКАЛЬНЫЕ КУРСЫ" — the building is EXACTLY as in the reference image. He holds an open newspaper in both hands — the front page features a caricature (sharzh) of himself, clearly visible and recognizable. The caricature on the newspaper shows Andreev's exaggerated but recognizable features. He is wearing his light summer suit — exactly as in the reference (white or light-colored jacket, light trousers, white shirt). The summer light is warm, and the costume feels light and appropriate for the season. The street is typical 19th-century Petersburg — cobblestones, cast-iron streetlamps, passersby in the background. The mood is a mixture of surprise, irony, and curiosity — Andreev has just discovered his own caricature in the newspaper. Style: Pure black ink on clean white paper — no colors, no sepia, no grey tones. Pushkin's characteristic style: light, flowing pen strokes, delicate linework, generous white space, slightly sketchy and unfinished quality. Andreev's face must be immediately recognizable (from reference). The building must be immediately recognizable (from reference). The summer costume must be exactly as in the reference. Technical: Monochrome, black ink on white paper, Pushkin illustration style, character strictly based on reference photo (including summer costume), maximum facial accuracy, building EXACTLY as in the reference image (including sign "МУЗЫКАЛЬНЫЕ КУРСЫ"), holding newspaper with caricature on front page, summer street scene, --ar 2.39:1
