Create a gothic portrait of a young woman wearing an ornate red gown with black lace accents, her hair braided and adorned with a delicate crown. Render the artwork in Edward Gorey’s signature style, utilizing intricate cross-hatching to add depth, texture, and shadow, especially on the fabric of the dress and her flowing hair. The woman’s expression is neutral, almost detached, evoking a subtle sense of mystery. Use minimal background elements--perhaps a vague outline of a brick wall and an antique arch--to emphasize negative space and evoke tension. Add symbolic details, such as a clock hinting at passing time or a single bird perched nearby, suggesting themes of fleeting beauty and isolation. The composition should be refined and elegant, balancing an eerie stillness with a sense of quiet, melancholic charm.
