Create an illustration of a quirky, slightly sinister doll-like character, inspired by Edward Gorey's distinctive aesthetic. Use intricate cross-hatching to bring out the texture of the character's worn, aged features, adding depth to her expression and her clothing. The character should have exaggerated and stylized proportions, with an unsettling grin that evokes a sense of eerie innocence. Her attire should evoke a timeless yet oddly dated feel, contributing to her unsettling presence. Keep the background minimal to emphasize her solitary, unsettling figure, and incorporate a symbolic motif, such as a small clock or a spider, to hint at a hidden, eerie narrative.
