VISIBLE SIGNATURE
The faint lower-right engraving is a clean vector trace of the creator's
personal FJA signature from the supplied photograph, not a pixel-for-pixel
facsimile of the ink and skin texture.

PROVENANCE
AI-assisted artwork under the concept and creative direction of
FRANTZ AGENIS II. The existing AI-origin description and digital-source
classification are retained. These process fields do not assign a
co-creator, co-owner or shared publication credit.

INTEGRITY VERIFICATION
PNG structure and all chunk checksums: valid.
Embedded title: VESTIGE in PNG, XMP and EXIF description.
Embedded XMP: parsed and checked.
Embedded EXIF artist and copyright: read back and checked.
Compressed image data: byte-for-byte unchanged by this metadata update.
Decoded pixels: unchanged; includes the approved understated signature.
Artwork ID: preserved.

SHA-256 of the complete delivered PNG:
1f074af4dd3dfdaac6d598a8056c4e5ac82b294fb351cce09ce22501142926ef

SHA-256 of the decoded RGB pixel bytes:
d2fd18c256169c6b64c47c5a4e4b59a84ecbf58cc3a0809f507096b53a9eda8d
Pixel format: 8-bit RGB, 5056 × 3392, rows top to bottom,
pixels left to right, channel order R G B, no alpha or padding.

The complete-file hash identifies this exact PNG. Editing or re-encoding
the image, or changing its metadata, changes that hash. The pixel hash
can verify unchanged visible pixels independently of metadata changes.

SCOPE
The credits and rights-holder fields record the creator's declaration.
This record is not an identity-certified signature or independently
trusted timestamp and does not certify legal ownership. Metadata and
visible signatures can be removed. Keep this record with the original PNG.
