Shelf Clock

Frank Wenger

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a tall, ornate wooden clock with a pointed, triangular top and two smaller spires on either side. The clock face is circular and located at the upper section of the structure, featuring Roman numerals. Below the clock face, there is a painted panel showing a pastoral scene. The bottom section of the clock houses a door adorned with a geometric, lattice-like pattern. The color palette includes browns and tans from the wood, with accents of green, yellow, and the natural tones of the pastoral scene. The clock is positioned centrally in the image, standing out against a plain, light-colored background.
