Create a detailed, cross-hatched illustration in the style of Edward Gorey, featuring a character based on the provided image. The character should have an eerie, emotionless expression with minimalist proportions and a slightly unsettling silhouette. Draw her in a 19th-century-inspired gothic outfit with intricate patterns, adding elaborate folds and textures using meticulous linework. Emphasize the shadow and texture through dense cross-hatching, creating a sense of depth and contrast. The background should be minimal, using only a few symbolic elements such as an empty chair, an old grandfather clock, or a black cat, evoking a sense of emptiness and foreboding. The setting should suggest an isolated, quiet room, using sparse architectural details like narrow windows or dark wooden paneling. Utilize a monochromatic palette, primarily black ink on white, to highlight the character’s solitary and melancholic presence, while leaving empty spaces to accentuate the overall sense of desolation and tension.
