Create a black-and-white pen-and-ink illustration in the style of Edward Gorey, focusing on intricate cross-hatching and delicate linework to convey nuanced shading and texture. Portray a single female figure with simplified, slightly distorted proportions and an expression that is calm, distant, and emotionally elusive. Her attire should evoke late 19th to early 20th century fashion--a high-collared dress with subtle, lace-like patterns--yet subtly reference the original image’s vibrant red garment through intricate shading rather than color. Render her hair as finely detailed, softly wind-tossed strands, giving a sense of gentle motion and tension. Place her within a minimal, mostly empty background, using generous negative space to amplify the uneasy stillness of the scene. Incorporate one or two symbolic motifs, such as a small black bird perched quietly nearby or a faintly drawn antique timepiece, to hint at hidden meaning or an underlying narrative. Ensure every detail, from her hair to the fabric’s folds, is depicted through meticulous cross-hatching and fine linework, capturing the quiet mystery, eerie elegance, and timeless atmosphere characteristic of Edward Gorey’s work.
