Watch Chain Locket

William P. Shearwood

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts three objects: a round pocket watch in closed and open states, and a slender stick-like object. The closed watch is at the upper left and displays an engraved design, while the open watch at the bottom reveals internal details. The elongated object is positioned at the upper right. The color palette includes golden yellows, light browns, and neutral whites. The objects are centered against a plain, off-white background, with the closed watch above the open one and the thin vertical object to the right.
