Create a gothic illustration featuring a young woman dressed in an elaborate black gown with delicate lace details, capturing the intricate textures through fine cross-hatching techniques. Her expression should remain neutral, evoking a sense of quiet mystery and detachment, consistent with Gorey’s minimal and enigmatic character design. Place her in a subtly surreal interior--an antique room with minimal furniture and symbolic objects, like flickering candles or an ornate clock on the wall. These motifs should hint at hidden narratives or themes of time and transience. Use deep contrasts and a muted color palette to enhance the depth, while leaving sections of the background sparsely detailed to amplify the sense of isolation and stillness.
