Copperplate-etching-inspired illustration, vertical 9:16, dark and ink-heavy. Three-quarter side view of one fictional adult resident at a plain wooden lectern during a public hearing in a modest 1970s council chamber. A wired gooseneck microphone points toward their face; one hand rests on the lectern while the other opens in a calm, sincere gesture. Wide-collared shirt and simple trousers. Warm ivory light picks out the face, open palm and lectern edge against deep charcoal-black shadows. Two small, subdued panel members sit listening behind a raised desk in the upper background, establishing the hearing without competing with the speaker. Restrained wood paneling, no decorative props. Confident etched contours, broad directional crosshatching, subtle copper-brown undertones on warm cream paper. Strong silhouette, generous dark breathing room above, one clear focal point. No readable text, logos or watermarks.
