Illustrate a wooden puppet with an elongated nose and exaggeratedly jointed limbs, inspired by Edward Gorey's style. The puppet should have a slightly unsettling, expressionless face with simple, carved eyes and rough, wood-grain texture emphasized through meticulous cross-hatching. Design the puppet’s body with visible joints and a rustic, worn appearance, capturing a sense of both fragility and peculiarity. Keep the background minimalistic, using dark tones and empty space to create a feeling of isolation around the figure. Include a faint, symbolic motif--perhaps a single clock or shadow--to hint at themes of time or self-discovery, enhancing the eerie, timeless quality of the scene.
