Create an illustration inspired by Edward Gorey's signature cross-hatching technique, portraying a glamorous woman in an opulent gold dress. The dress should shimmer as if composed of intricate patterns and fine strokes, creating the illusion of movement and radiance through detailed linework. Her expression should be calm, almost detached, with a sense of quiet melancholy, emphasizing her as a character who is both enchanting and untouchable. Use delicate cross-hatching to depict the textures of the dress, hair, and skin, giving the scene depth and subtle contrast. Surround her with minimal background elements--perhaps a hint of an antique mirror or faint silhouettes of forgotten statues. Include a symbolic motif, such as a faintly outlined bird or clock, subtly suggesting themes of fleeting beauty and passing time. Ensure that the scene feels both luxurious and eerie, balancing elegance with a sense of detachment, a hallmark of Gorey’s unique style.
