Gothic art illustration of a haunting Wintergeist floating around an ancient, dilapidated castle in the dead of winter. The ethereal, ghostly figure, dressed in tattered, regal garments, accentuates the eerie atmosphere. In the foreground, a resilient tree stands alone with a single last leaf clinging onto a barren branch, emphasizing the theme of endurance and the passage of time. Dramatic, chiaroscuro lighting highlights the cold, somber mood and intricate architectural details of the castle. Surreal elements, such as floating leaves and icy tendrils, accentuate the supernatural presence of the Wintergeist
