Create a detailed illustration of an iguana in the style of Edward Gorey, emphasizing intricate cross-hatching and fine line work to capture the texture of the iguana's scales and ridges. Use cross-hatching to create depth, giving the iguana a sense of dimensionality. Design the iguana with simplified yet expressive features, giving it a stoic, almost human-like posture, reflecting Gorey’s signature style of emotive yet detached characters. The background should be minimalistic, using empty space to emphasize the creature's solitary nature, and include a few symbolic elements, like a single leaf or branch, to add a subtle, surreal atmosphere.
