Create an illustration inspired by Edward Gorey's distinctive style, featuring a female character based on the uploaded image. The character should be depicted using meticulous cross-hatching and fine line detailing to emphasize shadows, depth, and textures. Dress the character in a gothic, Victorian-inspired outfit with elaborate lace patterns and subtle embellishments. Her face should be pale and expressionless, exuding an eerie and detached aura. The background should be minimal, using empty space and darkness to create a sense of isolation and emptiness. Include a few symbolic elements such as a black cat, a large antique clock, and a birdcage to enhance the mysterious atmosphere.
