Create an eerie, refined illustration in the style of Edward Gorey, depicting a solitary figure in an elegant white gown standing within a dimly lit, richly decorated room. Use intricate cross-hatching to capture the texture of the flowing gown and the ornate furniture. Ensure the figure appears emotionless, with a slightly rigid, unnatural pose to evoke Gorey’s signature detachment. The setting should feature high-contrast lighting, with dark shadows and subdued highlights emphasizing a sense of quiet tension. Simplify the background to include only essential elements--a few potted plants, a chandelier, and a decorative sofa--creating a minimalist but atmospheric environment. Introduce subtle symbolic motifs, such as a vase with wilting flowers or a flickering candle, hinting at melancholy or hidden emotions. Employ fine lines and negative space to convey a sense of isolation, elegance, and subtle unease.
