Full Prompt
A centered black-and-white vintage engraved portrait of a bearded man wearing a hooded sweatshirt with the hood up and a backward snapback cap visible under the hood. Show only the upper torso and head against a plain off-white paper background with subtle texture. Render the image in detailed pen-and-ink etching style with dense cross-hatching, fine parallel lines, and old book illustration shading. The figure faces forward in a calm, neutral pose. The cap has a visible snap closure band across the forehead area, slicked-back hair is visible above it, and a thick full beard extends below the face. The hoodie has two drawstrings hanging down at the chest. Keep the composition symmetrical and tightly framed like a classic engraved bust portrait, with no color, no modern graphic elements, and no background objects.
