Grandfather's Clock

Ernest A. Towers, Jr.

National Gallery of Art

The image features abstract shapes and lines, including horizontal and curved lines outlining geometric forms. On the left are linear silhouettes resembling architectural cornices or molding profiles. In the upper-right corner is a semi-circular shape with concentric lines, circular designs, and floral patterns. Below it is a vertical ornamental shape suggestive of a chess piece or finial. In the lower part, there is an intricate swirling line pattern resembling a decorative flourish, and a small floral motif composed of dark, petal-like shapes arranged symmetrically.
