Illustrate a solitary young woman with a poised, serene expression, using Edward Gorey’s meticulous cross-hatching to capture the texture and depth of her dark clothing and smooth, pale skin. The character should have a simple yet haunting look, with large, distant eyes and an almost expressionless face, evoking a sense of quiet melancholy. Set her against a minimal background with a light, solid color, allowing the use of empty space to create a sense of isolation and introspection. Include a small, symbolic motif--such as a thin, red vertical line or a faintly sketched clock--off to the side to subtly imply deeper themes of time and introspection.
