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 Boris. CRITICAL — CHARACTER ACCURACY (MAXIMUM PRIORITY): Boris: Must remain EXACTLY as in the reference photo — his specific face, eyes, nose, mouth, 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. Expression: He is focused, concentrated, playing his instrument with dedication. Costume: He wears formal concert attire — black tailcoat, white shirt, white cravat. 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. Scene: A rehearsal hall in Saint Petersburg, late 19th century, daytime. Boris sits in the orchestra — he is a member of the ensemble, playing his instrument (likely violin or cello). He is surrounded by other musicians — all playing together, reading from music stands, focused on their parts. His posture shows concentration and dedication — he is deeply engaged in the music. The rehearsal is underway — other musicians visible around him, a conductor visible in the background. The setting is a typical 19th-century rehearsal space — high ceilings, large windows, music stands, instruments. 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. Boris's face must be immediately recognizable (from reference).
