Create a gothic portrait of a young woman wearing a black dress with brass buttons over a crisp white blouse, featuring a lace choker and her hair styled with red roses. Render the illustration using Edward Gorey’s cross-hatching technique to emphasize fine textures and subtle shadows, creating depth in her outfit and hairstyle. The character’s expression should be calm and neutral, evoking a sense of quiet mystery and detachment. Keep the background minimalistic, suggesting hints of dark wooden paneling or soft lighting, leaving negative space to enhance the feeling of isolation. Include subtle symbolic motifs such as a raven, an antique key, or a single flickering candle to reflect themes of beauty, solitude, and time passing. The composition should balance refined elegance with eerie stillness, evoking a timeless and surreal atmosphere.
