Create an eerie, gothic-themed illustration inspired by the uploaded image, but rendered in Edward Gorey’s signature style. Use intricate cross-hatching to emphasize shadows and add texture to the clothing and hair. The character should have a simplified, surreal silhouette, dressed in a corseted gown with subtle lace and ribbons, maintaining a melancholic, emotionless expression. Focus on delicate line work to detail her braided hair and Victorian-inspired accessories. Keep the background minimal, suggesting a dimly lit interior with faint arches or a window, leaving much of the space empty to convey solitude. Incorporate symbolic elements like a small clock or a perched black bird to hint at hidden meanings.
