Create a surreal portrait of a gothic woman in the visual style of Edward Gorey. Employ intricate cross-hatching techniques and fine linework to emphasize shadows and textures. The woman’s expression is neutral and enigmatic, with her long, wavy hair softly falling over her shoulders. She wears a delicate choker and a Victorian-inspired lace dress, blending elegance with melancholy. Draw attention to her pale skin, contrasting sharply against her dark attire. Minimal background elements--a flickering candle or a small black cat at her side--enhance the feeling of isolation. Use symbolic motifs such as an antique pocket watch or a perched raven to suggest an eerie narrative. Render the scene entirely in black and white, with detailed cross-hatching to create depth and evoke a haunting, dreamlike atmosphere, reminiscent of Gorey's work.
