Shelf Clock

Lawrence Phillips

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a tall, rectangular wooden clock with two sections. The upper part features a clock face with Roman numerals surrounded by floral decorations, while the lower section displays a colorful painting of a scenic landscape. The color palette includes rich browns from the wood, light colors for the floral design, and a vibrant combination of greens, blues, and other earthy hues in the landscape painting. The clock is positioned centrally within the frame, with decorative columns flanking either side.
