Create a black-and-white pen-and-ink illustration inspired by Edward Gorey’s distinctive style. Focus on intricate cross-hatching and fine linework to depict a solitary female figure standing by a rocky seashore. Render her with simplified proportions and an expression that is neutral, almost melancholic, reflecting an ambiguous emotional state. Her short hair is carefully detailed with fine lines, and her lightweight dress features delicate patterns, subtly referencing the floral design of the original image, yet in a muted, timeless fashion evocative of the early 20th century. The background should be minimal, with just a suggestion of rocks, waves, and the horizon, leaving ample negative space to emphasize a sense of isolation. Include one or two symbolic elements, such as a small bird in flight or a single seashell resting on the rocks, to evoke mystery and hint at an untold story. Use precise cross-hatching and shading to create depth and texture, capturing the eerie elegance and quiet tension characteristic of Gorey’s illustrations.
