Create a black-and-white pen-and-ink illustration inspired by Edward Gorey’s style, emphasizing intricate cross-hatching and fine details. Depict a solitary female figure with an otherworldly and stoic expression, her gaze intense and slightly unsettling. She wears an elaborate Gothic-style gown, adorned with intricate lace patterns and sharp, spiked textures on the collar, rendered meticulously to capture every detail. Her braided hair is tightly styled, with delicate ornaments that emphasize her regal yet mysterious demeanor. Place her in a snowy forest with a minimal background, using faint outlines of trees and falling snow to create a serene yet ominous atmosphere. Leave significant negative space around the figure to heighten the sense of isolation. Include symbolic motifs, such as a raven perched on a distant branch or a faintly sketched clock face peeking through the snow, to suggest deeper layers of narrative. Use cross-hatching to render the textures of her clothing, the cold sharpness of the environment, and the soft interplay of light and shadow, capturing Gorey’s eerie elegance and meticulous craftsmanship.
