Gold Watch and Frame

Harry G. Aberdeen

National Gallery of Art

This is a detailed drawing of a pocket watch and its components, including front, side, and back views. The front features Roman numerals and watch hands with a sub-dial. The back shows internal mechanics and engravings with maker's details and dates. The side view shows the watch's thickness. The drawing is precise, and the section showing the watch mechanism is colored to highlight its complexity.
