This image is a combination of the styles of three artists. The style of Loui Jover is given more emphasis because it is listed first in the instructions. The "no mockup" parameter tells Midjourney not to include any additional elements like a picture frame. It should also be noted Midjourney creates four different images from your prompt referencing the stylize and chaos parameters.

The attributes “captivating gaze” and “emotive pensive poses” did not come from the keyword list and were added ad hoc. This is a common practice because the keyword list is incomplete. The risk is Midjourney may not understand the word or phrase and ignore it but it plays well with your creativity. Could these two attributes be moved to the subject (ie “a newspaper printed with a masculine man with natural beauty and a captivating gaze emotive pensive pose”)? The answer is yes but the output will be different. It is all about personal preference. Just remember order is important.
