Pen-and-ink drawing in the style of Pushkin's manuscript illustrations, crisp black ink on clean white paper, ultra-wide panoramic composition, aspect ratio 2.39:1, 2048×858 resolution. Scene: Saint Petersburg street, late 19th century, daytime. Andreev stands in front of a building with a sign reading "МУЗЫКАЛЬНЫЕ КУРСЫ" in ornate Cyrillic letters above the entrance. Andreev holds a newspaper in his hands — his face shows surprise, confusion, or amusement. He is reading the front page. The newspaper is open, and the front page features a cartoon (sharzh) of Andreev — the drawing is clearly a humorous or satirical depiction of him, recognizable by his features. Andreev is wearing his formal black tailcoat, white shirt, and white cravat (exactly as in the reference). He holds the newspaper with both hands, studying the caricature. Behind him is the building of the "Музыкальные курсы" — a typical 19th-century Petersburg structure with large windows, stone columns or pilasters, and a grand entrance. The sign is clearly visible above the door. 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. Key details: The newspaper: Open, front page visible, with the caricature (sharzh) of Andreev clearly visible and recognizable. The newspaper is titled or has a header typical of 19th-century publications. The caricature: The drawing on the newspaper front page is a humorous or satirical portrait of Andreev — exaggerated features, but still recognizable as him. The building sign: "МУЗЫКАЛЬНЫЕ КУРСЫ" — large, ornate Cyrillic letters above the entrance. Andreev's expression: A mix of surprise, amusement, or mild shock — he is reacting to seeing himself 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). Technical: Monochrome, black ink on white paper, Pushkin illustration style, character strictly based on reference photo, maximum facial accuracy, holding a newspaper with a caricature of himself on the front page, standing in front of a building with sign "МУЗЫКАЛЬНЫЕ КУРСЫ", street scene, --ar 2.39:1
