Clock-Toby (front and side view)

Ralph Atkinson

National Gallery of Art

Two identical ceramic figurines of a portly man with a large clock embedded in his belly are depicted on small square platforms. The color palette consists of muted tones such as browns, blues, cream, and accents of red on the man's clothing. One figure faces forward on the left side, while the other is in profile view facing right on the right side of the image.
