A monochromatic illustration of a woman with her back turned, reminiscent of Edward Gorey's style. Use meticulous cross-hatching techniques to emphasize shadows and textures, adding depth and dimension. The figure should have a minimalist expression and simplified yet eerie posture, capturing the subtle sense of melancholy and enigma. Depict the character in a delicate, flowing dress with fine, detailed lines representing the fabric's folds and patterns. Keep the background minimal, focusing on the character's form and posture, and include symbolic motifs such as a small black cat or a raven perched nearby, hinting at a mysterious atmosphere. The scene should evoke a sense of stillness and haunting beauty, typical of Gorey's illustrations.
