Shelf Clock

Therkel Anderson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a tall, rectangular wooden clock with a decorative gold eagle on top. The clock face features Roman numerals, and below it are two painted panels with scenes of trees, a house, and a water wheel. The color palette includes earthy browns, gold accents, and vibrant greens, reds, and blues in the painted scenes. The clock is positioned centrally against a plain background, drawing attention vertically through its structure and the artwork on the panels.
