Grandfather Clock c. 1936

"Grandfather Clock" is a technical drawing by American artist Ernest A. Towers, Jr. created circa 1936. The work depicts a traditional grandfather clock in three different views, including a front, side, and back perspective. Towers’ detailed ink drawing of the clock's intricate design and the woodgrain on the case highlights his interest in both mechanical and decorative elements. The drawing was likely created as a design study for a clock maker. The work is a good example of the tradition of technical drawing and its importance in the design and manufacture of furniture and other objects.
