Create a black-and-white pen-and-ink illustration in the style of Edward Gorey, emphasizing intricate cross-hatching and fine linework. Depict a cracked porcelain doll leaning against a dimly lit staircase. The doll's face is fractured, with hollow, dark eyes that convey a haunting and emotionless expression. Its intricate, tattered lace dress is rendered with meticulous detail, capturing both the texture of the fabric and the decay of time. The background should be minimal but atmospheric, with the faint outline of the wooden staircase and a partially visible, patterned wallpaper. Use heavy cross-hatching to emphasize shadows and depth, creating a mood of eerie stillness. Introduce symbolic elements such as a small spider weaving a web in the corner of the stair or a faintly drawn clock in the background, hinting at themes of time and abandonment. Maintain a balance between Gothic elegance and quiet unease, capturing Gorey’s signature haunting and detailed aesthetic.
