Mantel Clock

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Mantel Clock by James Rosenquist features a mix of dark brown and black colors with gold accents. The clock has an ornate design with a white face and black Roman numerals. Two columns, one on each side, are adorned with intricate carvings at the top and bottom. A painting is visible behind the clock face, depicting a landscape scene. The clock appears to be old, with signs of aging and wear. The time shown on the clock face is approximately 11:11. A circular opening is located at the bottom center of the clock. The background of the image is a plain off-white color, allowing the clock to be the focal point.
