Create an illustration of a tall, slender woman wearing an elaborate, voluminous black gown that billows around her, inspired by Edward Gorey’s style. Use detailed cross-hatching techniques to convey the texture of the layers of fabric, creating depth and dimension within the gown's intricate folds. The character should stand with a poised yet slightly contorted posture, reminiscent of Gorey’s enigmatic figures, her expression devoid of emotion, adding to the unsettling atmosphere. Position her against a minimalistic, almost empty background, using sparse linework to outline a faint suggestion of a fence and distant hills. Introduce symbolic elements such as a single black bird perched on the fence or a winding, overgrown vine that climbs up from the corner of the frame to emphasize the eerie, desolate mood. Use shadows and contrasts to highlight the textures and shapes of her dress, keeping the overall color palette monochromatic with delicate shading to capture the vintage, Gothic essence. The scene should evoke a sense of solitude and timelessness, as if the figure is both part of and detached from the surrounding environment.
