**Prompt:**

Transform the **uploaded image** into a highly detailed **traditional copperplate engraving / etched portrait**, while keeping the person’s **facial identity, proportions, expression, hairstyle, and recognizable features exactly consistent with the reference image**.

Create an extreme close-up portrait with meticulous **black ink linework, dense cross-hatching, fine parallel engraving lines, stippling, and microscopic etched texture**. Build the skin, hair, facial contours, and shadows entirely through carefully controlled engraving marks rather than smooth digital shading.

Use a **strict two-tone palette only: deep black and warm off-white/ivory**. No color, no gray gradients, no photographic skin tones.

Lighting should be **dramatic and high contrast**, with deep black shadow regions and crisp off-white highlights. Use the engraving density to describe the form: extremely dense hatching in the darkest areas, gradually opening into delicate fine lines toward the highlights.

Maintain realistic facial anatomy and natural skin texture. Preserve subtle details such as **eyes, eyebrows, nose structure, lips, jawline, cheekbones, hairline, and distinctive facial characteristics** from the uploaded image.

The final result should resemble a **masterfully hand-engraved 19th-century portrait plate**, combined with modern ultra-high-resolution detail.

**Visual characteristics:**

* Hyper-detailed traditional engraving
* Extremely fine linework
* Dense cross-hatching
* Fine stippling
* Copperplate / intaglio aesthetic
* Strong chiaroscuro
* Deep blacks and clean ivory highlights
* Sharp facial detail
* Natural anatomy
* High micro-contrast
* Authentic hand-etched appearance
* No painterly brush strokes
* No smooth digital airbrushing
* No color

**Composition:** tight close-up portrait, face prominently filling the frame, centered composition, strong dramatic lighting, highly detailed etched texture throughout.

**Important:** The uploaded image is the **primary identity reference**. Do not redesign, beautify, age, de-age, or alter the person's facial structure. Apply the engraving style **to the existing person**, not to a newly generated face.
