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. 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 formal black tailcoat, black formal trousers, white shirt, white cravat (tie). He holds a black top hat (cylinder) in his hand. Expression: His face shows anger, frustration, despair, and determination to drown his sorrows — after the failed audition, he has given up on dignity and just wants to drink. Movement: He is jumping out of the carriage — a fast, desperate, almost stumbling movement. He is not stepping out carefully; he is bursting out. 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). Scene: Outside the restaurant "ПРОГРЕСС" (Progress) in Saint Petersburg, late 19th century, summer evening. Andreev is jumping out of the horse-drawn carriage — he is moving quickly, desperately, almost stumbling onto the steps of the restaurant. He is in full formal attire — black tailcoat, black formal trousers, white shirt, white cravat, exactly as in the reference. He holds his black top hat (cylinder) in his hand, but it is slightly crushed or held carelessly. His body language is aggressive and defeated at the same time — he is moving toward the restaurant with a clear purpose: to drink. His shoulders are tense, his jaw is tight, his eyes are burning with frustration. The restaurant "ПРОГРЕСС" — an elegant building with large windows, a glowing entrance with lanterns, and a sign above the door reading "ПРОГРЕСС" in ornate 19th-century Cyrillic letters. Several stone steps lead up to the entrance. He is on the steps, having just jumped out of the carriage. He doesn't look back — he is focused only on getting inside and ordering a drink. His carriage is behind him — the driver is startled by the sudden movement, the horse shies slightly. The street is lively — other carriages pass by, pedestrians stroll, streetlamps cast warm light on the cobblestones. Through the restaurant windows, silhouettes of patrons are visible — people dining, laughing, a pianist playing. Warm light spills onto the steps. His top hat is in his hand, crushed or held carelessly — a symbol of his fallen dignity. The mood is raw and desperate — he has given up on pretense and just wants to escape into alcohol. Atmosphere: The mood is intense, desperate, and raw — a man at his lowest point The contrast between his desperation and the warm, inviting restaurant is palpable He is fleeing from his failure into alcohol A sense of self-destruction and surrender 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. The character's face must be drawn with the highest precision — every line should serve to preserve his identity. Hand-drawn quality with visible searching lines and slight imperfections. Atmospheric and cinematic — the scene captures a moment of raw human emotion. Technical: Monochrome, black ink on white paper, Pushkin illustration style, character strictly based on reference photo, maximum facial accuracy, exact formal costume (black tailcoat, black trousers, white shirt, white cravat), blond hair, holding black top hat (slightly crushed), jumping out of carriage onto steps of restaurant "ПРОГРЕСС" to drink, sign in Cyrillic, desperate movement, --ar 2.39:1
