Create an Edward Gorey-inspired illustration of a gothic girl with dark, tousled hair and piercing red eyes. Use intricate cross-hatching techniques to define the shadows on her delicate face and flowing hair, enhancing depth and subtle emotion. Render her lace choker and elaborate gothic attire with fine, meticulous linework to capture every detail of texture and pattern. The expression should remain neutral and enigmatic, characteristic of Gorey’s characters--detached and ethereal. Keep the background minimal, using sparse abstract elements or soft, empty space to evoke a sense of isolation and melancholy. Add symbolic motifs--such as a raven perched subtly on her shoulder or a small antique clock nearby--reinforcing themes of time and mystery. Maintain a subdued, monochromatic palette with occasional red accents, emphasizing her eyes and clothing, creating an eerie contrast that complements the melancholic tone of the piece.
