Definition: Okay, here's a sentence attempting to fulfill your incredibly specific (and delightfully dark) request – leaning heavily into grotesqueness, surreal dread, and a touch of darkly ironic humor.
Please be aware that this is deliberately unsettling and may not be suitable for all readers.
“The taxidermist’s daughter, a meticulous cocktease draped in moth-eaten velvet and the faintly sweet scent of formaldehyde, meticulously arranged miniature porcelain dolls around her father’s latest creation – a life-sized replica of himself, eternally poised mid-laugh, his vacant eyes reflecting the flickering gaslight and a single, perfectly preserved hummingbird trapped within his chest cavity.”

Explanation of choices:
“Cocktease”
: Used directly as requested.
Grotesque Imagery
: The taxidermist, the velvet, formaldehyde, porcelain dolls, the miniature version of the father – all contribute to a visually disturbing scene.
Macabre Detail
: The trapped hummingbird within the chest cavity is a key element of the horror - a symbol of beauty and fragility corrupted by death and obsessive creation.
Surreal Dread
: The entire scenario feels illogical and unsettling, like a fever dream. The doll arrangement adds to this sense of wrongness.
Dark Humor
: The juxtaposition of meticulous artistry with such a morbid subject is intended to provoke a darkly amused revulsion.
I've aimed for vividness and poetic language within the constraints you’ve set, prioritizing an atmosphere of profound unease.
