Transform this image into a pen-and-ink drawing in the style of Pushkin's manuscript illustrations, while strictly preserving the exact facial features, expressions, and costumes from the attached reference photos of Nina and Pasquerone. CRITICAL — CHARACTER ACCURACY (MAXIMUM PRIORITY): Nina: Must remain EXACTLY as in the reference photo — her specific face, eyes, nose, mouth, hair, and expression. Her face must be immediately recognizable. Do not alter, idealize, or generalize her features — only change the rendering technique to ink lines. Pasquerone: Must remain EXACTLY as in the reference photo — his specific face, dark hair with distinguished gray at the temples, refined features, mustache and goatee. His face must be immediately recognizable. Do not alter his features. DO NOT change, idealize, or generalize their faces. Keep every unique, specific feature from the reference photos. DO NOT merge or mix the faces — each character must remain distinct and recognizable. Preserve their hairstyles, hair colors, and costumes exactly as in the reference photos. Scene: A street in Saint Petersburg, late 19th century, summer daytime. Nina and Pasquerone are standing together on the street — they are in conversation. Pasquerone's expression is negative, dismissive, or disapproving — he is shaking his head "no" (a clear, negative head shake). His posture is firm, his expression stern or impatient. Nina looks distressed, confused, or upset — she is looking at Pasquerone, perhaps pleading or questioning. She wears her hat and holds her book. The street is typical 19th-century Petersburg — cobblestones, cast-iron streetlamps, elegant buildings in the background. The mood is tense, emotional, and confrontational — Pasquerone is rejecting something Nina is asking for or telling her "no" to something important. 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. Both faces must be immediately recognizable (from references).
