Clock

John Dieterich

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a detailed design for a wall clock. The drawing shows a front view and a side profile view of the clock. The main section of the clock features two circular faces, one with Roman numerals for telling time and the other with an intricate illustration, potentially depicting a maritime scene. Above the clock face is an eagle finial. The side profile shows the depth and additional decorative elements, including a sculptural figure on top. Measurement notes indicate the height as 47 inches, and "scale 9/6" suggests proportions are not accurate. The drawing seems intended for crafting or conceptual layout for the clock.
