National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large wooden mantle clock with a triangular-shaped top and two pointed finials on either side. The clock face has a white background with black Roman numerals and clock hands encased in glass. Below the clock face, there are two rectangular panels adorned with intricate designs in blue, white, and gold tones. The color palette consists of natural wood brown, with accents of white, blue, and gold. Positioned centrally in the frame, the clock stands vertically on a flat surface, slightly elevated on small round feet, with detailed artwork visible on its front panels.
