Steeple Clock

Francis Law Durand

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wooden mantel clock with a pointed roof and decorative finials at the top. The clock face is round with Roman numerals and black hands. Below the clock face is a rectangular painted panel depicting a rural scene with trees and houses. The color palette includes mainly natural browns of the wood and monochrome shades of black and white on the clock face, with muted blues, greens, and grays in the painted scene below. The clock is centrally positioned in the image with its roof pointing upwards, and the painted scene directly beneath the clock face.
