Art style: Realistic cinematic historical illustration. Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, centered in the frame. A poor but determined boy of about ten, slight and wiry from lean living, with a narrow face, hollow cheeks, and pale fair skin lightly smudged with dirt. He has tousled dark-blond hair cut roughly and unevenly, sharp attentive hazel eyes, thin lips set in a quiet, resolute expression, and a small scar on one eyebrow. He wears a threadbare grey-brown collarless shirt patched at the elbows, worn suspenders holding up short frayed woolen trousers, and scuffed, cracked leather ankle boots caked with mud, the sole coming loose on one. His hands are chapped, one clenched with quiet resolve. He stands on a cobblestone street of a dim 19th-century working-class town at dusk, weathered brick tenements and a faint gas lamp behind him. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Realistic cinematic historical illustration" style.
