Clock c. 1938

"Clock" is a drawing by Nicholas Gorid, created around 1938. The detailed illustration depicts a traditional clock face, with Roman numeral markings, intricate floral embellishments, and an inscription above the clock, "SIC VITA TRANSIT UT HORA," which translates to "So life passes away like an hour." The image is a striking example of the artist's attention to detail, and the subject matter of time, passage, and mortality adds a layer of symbolism to this classic design.
