Create an illustration of a woman seated on a vintage sofa, inspired by Edward Gorey’s style. Render her with intricate cross-hatching to capture the fine details of her hair, the soft fabric of her dress, and the texture of the sofa’s upholstery. Her expression should be emotionless, her posture slightly tense yet elegant, evoking a sense of detachment and introspection. Position her in front of a large window, through which only a faint outline of trees and a fence is visible, maintaining Gorey's signature use of minimal and symbolic backgrounds. Use empty space and sparse shadows to highlight the quiet tension of the scene. Incorporate subtle symbolic elements, like a small black bird perched on the window sill or a pair of gloves left carelessly beside her on the sofa, to hint at a deeper narrative. Keep the overall color scheme monochromatic, relying on intricate linework and light shading to convey depth and texture. The atmosphere should be both serene and unsettling, characteristic of Gorey’s hauntingly beautiful illustrations.
