Create a black-and-white pen-and-ink illustration in the style of Edward Gorey, using intricate cross-hatching and fine linework to evoke depth and texture. Depict a solitary female figure standing in a snow-covered forest, her head bowed slightly and her expression calm yet enigmatic. Her outfit should be an ornate fusion of historical elegance and otherworldly design, with detailed embroidery, metallic accents, and flowing fabric rendered meticulously through delicate linework. The background should consist of minimal but evocative elements--a few barren trees and faint outlines of snow-covered shapes, with much of the negative space left blank to emphasize stillness and isolation. Include symbolic motifs such as a single bird perched on a distant tree branch or an ornate lantern partially buried in the snow to suggest a deeper narrative. Focus on creating a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere, blending the serene with the uncanny, while ensuring every detail, from the fabric folds to the tree bark, is captured through precise cross-hatching in Gorey’s characteristic Gothic style.
