Art style: Историческая драма, реалистичная кинематографическая реконструкция России 1838–1842 годов. Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright beside a dusty travelling carriage in a provincial Russian inn yard, 1840s. Selifan, Chichikov's coachman: a broad, stocky Russian peasant man of about forty, weathered sun-reddened face, ruddy cheeks, small shrewd grey eyes, bushy light-brown beard and tousled hair under a low-crowned felt hat. Heavy build, thick shoulders, work-roughened hands. He wears a long coarse brown sheepskin-lined kaftan belted with a knotted red sash over a faded linen shirt, baggy wool trousers tucked into cracked tall leather boots caked with road mud. A coiled leather whip hangs from his belt; he holds a bridle strap, glancing sideways with a slow, half-drunk good-natured expression. Behind him, tired horses, harness, and grey overcast light. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Историческая драма, реалистичная кинематографическая реконструкция России 1838–1842 годов" style.
