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 light summer suit (white or light-colored jacket, light trousers, white shirt). NOT a black tailcoat. Expression: His face shows purpose, quiet focus, or careful attention — he is placing the basket down and reaching for the bell. 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: A basement window on a street in Saint Petersburg, late 19th century, summer daytime. Andreev stands at the basement window — a small window at street level, partially below ground, with iron bars or a low sill. He places the basket on the windowsill — the basket contains feathers (quills), small ink jars, rolled paper, and pieces of chalk. He reaches for a small bell — a handbell or a small brass bell sitting on the windowsill or hanging nearby. He is taking it. The basement window is typical of 19th-century Petersburg — low to the ground, possibly with a small wrought-iron grate or frame. The street is visible behind him — cobblestones, cast-iron streetlamps, passersby in the distance. The mood is quiet, purposeful, and slightly mysterious — he is exchanging items, leaving the basket and taking the bell. 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 basket and the bell must be clearly visible and distinguishable. Technical: Monochrome, black ink on white paper, Pushkin illustration style, character strictly based on reference photo (including summer costume), maximum facial accuracy, placing basket on basement windowsill, reaching for and taking a small bell, street scene, --ar 2.39:1
