Create an intricate, surreal illustration inspired by Edward Gorey’s artistic style. Depict an elegant, emotionless figure standing in profile, adorned in an ornate lace gown with fine, flowing details. Use cross-hatching techniques to craft intricate textures on the clothing and hair, capturing every delicate fold and wave. The figure should exhibit a graceful, timeless posture, with subtle hints of melancholy, as if lost in thought or daydream. The background should be minimalistic, featuring only faint stained glass patterns in muted colors, adding a subtle aura of mystery and nostalgia. Use symbolic motifs like delicate flowers in the figure's hair, implying fleeting beauty, or abstract birds hovering nearby to suggest themes of longing and solitude. Keep the focus on intricate linework, negative space, and a sense of stillness that echoes both elegance and unease, staying true to Gorey’s narrative tone.
