Illustrate a side-profile portrait of an elegant figure reminiscent of Edward Gorey’s surreal and delicate world. Use intricate cross-hatching to depict the subtle shadows cast along the contours of her face and flowing hair. Let the feathers framing the character be detailed with fine strokes, creating a sense of soft texture and movement, akin to Gorey's intricate rendering of fabric and organic elements. Maintain a minimalist background with a hint of abstract color, but refrain from overwhelming the composition--allow the space to breathe, as in Gorey’s works, emphasizing the solitude of the figure. Incorporate a subtle motif, such as a small, symbolic bird or a pocket watch, floating discreetly, reinforcing the themes of fleeting beauty and hidden mysteries. Let the character remain stoic and enigmatic, capturing the sense of detached elegance and emotional ambiguity that is characteristic of Gorey’s figures.
