A monochromatic illustration of a young woman with a distant expression, rendered in Edward Gorey’s distinctive style. The character is seated in a minimalistic interior, holding a lit cigarette between her fingers, with a faint plume of smoke rising. Use intricate cross-hatching to depict the texture of her dark hair, the delicate shadows on her face, and the subtle folds of her clothing. Her eyes are hollow and slightly downcast, giving a sense of detached melancholy. The background is minimal, featuring only the faint outlines of a few interior elements, such as a table or an open door, drawn with simple linework to emphasize the character’s isolation. Introduce a subtle symbolic motif, such as a single black moth fluttering near the smoke or a clock with no hands on a nearby wall, to add an air of eerie stillness. The overall composition should evoke a sense of quiet tension and introspective beauty, reflecting Gorey’s mastery of blending melancholy with surreal charm.
