Illustrate a gothic scene featuring a young woman dressed in a sleek red and black gown adorned with lace and ribbons, reminiscent of Victorian aesthetics. Render the artwork with Edward Gorey’s signature cross-hatching technique to create depth and texture, especially in the details of her dress and flowing hair. The character’s expression should remain neutral, exuding an air of quiet melancholy and detachment. Her pose is slightly unnatural yet elegant, enhancing the surreal tone. The background should be minimalistic, with subtle suggestions of an ornate Victorian archway or a dim lantern, leaving much of the scene in negative space. Incorporate small symbolic elements--such as a black cat, a clock, or scattered roses--to hint at themes of fleeting beauty and mystery. The overall composition should evoke a sense of timelessness and quiet eeriness, blending delicate elegance with a haunting atmosphere.
