Church Clock Hands

Walter Praefke

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two decorative metallic weathervane designs and a clock face. The image depicts two rust-colored metal weathervane arrows with ornate details, one pointing upwards and the other lying horizontally. Both appear textured and aged. Positioned in the upper right corner is a simple, white clock face with black hands and markings showing a time of approximately 10:08. The background is plain off-white. There is text near the bottom that might give additional information about the weathervanes or context but is not prominent in the composition. The piece has a technical aesthetic with clean lines and emphasis on the designs.
