Create a gothic illustration in the style of Edward Gorey. Depict a young woman in a detailed, black lace dress with intricate ruffles and sheer fabric, inspired by Victorian fashion. Use fine cross-hatching to meticulously render shadows and textures, emphasizing the folds of her dress and her long, flowing hair. The figure should have an expressionless, slightly melancholic look, evoking a sense of detachment and mystery. Keep the background minimal, using negative space effectively, but include symbolic elements such as twisting branches, fog, or dark birds. The illustration should prioritize delicate linework, creating a sense of eerie elegance and otherworldly melancholy typical of Gorey’s work.
