Create a detailed illustration in the style of Edward Gorey, featuring a character inspired by the girl in the uploaded image. Use intricate cross-hatching techniques to build shadows and texture, ensuring meticulous attention to details in the character's clothing and hair. The character should have a delicate yet eerie appearance, with a slightly elongated body and simplified facial features, reminiscent of Gorey's signature style. Position the character in a minimalist background, incorporating subtle yet symbolic elements like a small black cat or an antique clock to enhance the mysterious atmosphere. Keep the background mostly empty, using only essential elements to draw attention to the character while adding a sense of unease and surrealism.
