Clock, Antique

Dorothea A. Farrington

National Gallery of Art

A large wooden clock featuring an ornate top with finials, columns on each side, and a clock face with black numerals and hands labeled "Sessions." Beneath the clock face, there is a scene with a sailing ship depicted inside an oval. The color palette comprises rich browns in the wood, a soft beige clock face, and a mix of blues and yellows in the ship scene. The clock is centrally placed with an additional clock face design positioned to the left, and a separate circular depiction of the sailing ship to the right. The bottom right corner includes the handwritten text "Dorothea Farrington Practise Work 1938."
