Create a gothic-themed portrait of a young woman, elegantly posed in a flowing black gown adorned with intricate rose embroidery. Her cat ears peek out from beneath a delicate golden crown, suggesting an air of both royalty and feline mystery. Her attire should emphasize elaborate textures--lace cuffs, sheer fabrics, and fine gold details--capturing the essence of Edward Gorey’s meticulous cross-hatching technique. Use cross-hatching to craft subtle shading across the folds of her dress and the delicate embroidery of roses, providing depth and visual complexity. The character’s face should remain serene and neutral, her gaze calm yet distant, evoking a sense of timelessness. In the background, keep the setting minimal--a faintly visible floral wallpaper, soft candlelight casting long shadows, and the outline of a wooden frame. Incorporate subtle symbolic elements, such as a bird perched quietly in the background or a small vintage clock. Utilize negative space to highlight the quiet intensity of the character and evoke a mood of elegant melancholy. The result should feel refined and mysterious, with a hint of otherworldly charm--drawing viewers into a narrative filled with both beauty and hidden meaning.
