Banjo Clock

Ulrich Fischer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an ornate grandfather clock with a circular face at the top featuring Roman numerals and the word "Willard" along with "Boston." The clock's body is adorned with elaborate decorations, including a painted panel depicting a scene with horses and a chariot near the bottom. The color palette includes earth tones and vivid accents of red, blue, and gold in the decorations. The clock is positioned upright, centered in the image, occupying most of the visual space, with the artist's signature "Ulrich Fischer" appearing in small text towards the lower left corner.
