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, and curiosity — he is reaching through the window. 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. The window: Below street level, with a wide stone windowsill. There is a horizontal iron grate in front of the window, but the space between the bars is large enough to reach through. In front of the grate is a beautiful wrought-iron fence — ornate, decorative, with elegant scrollwork and finials. The window is open, revealing a room inside. Inside the window: A empty school classroom — visible through the open window: wooden desks (парты) in rows, a teacher's desk, a large blackboard (доска) on the wall, perhaps maps or educational posters. The room is quiet, empty, bathed in soft daylight from the window. Andreev stands at the window, reaching through the gap in the grate and the fence to place the basket on the windowsill or pass it inside. The basket contains feathers (quills), small ink jars, rolled paper, and pieces of chalk — placed on the windowsill or passed through the window. He reaches for a small bell sitting on the windowsill — a brass handbell — and takes it. The street is visible behind him — cobblestones, cast-iron streetlamps, passersby in the distance. The mood is quiet, purposeful, and slightly mysterious — an exchange happening at the edge of the school. 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 window, grate, fence, and the classroom interior 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, basement window with grate and wrought-iron fence, open window revealing empty classroom with desks and blackboard, placing basket, taking bell, street scene, --ar 2.39:1
