Design for a Clock n.d.

"Design for a Clock" is a drawing by Dutch artist Simon Schijnvoet, who was active from 1653 to 1727. The drawing depicts a detailed design for a clock, featuring an urn with cherubs around the top and intricate carvings. This design reflects the popularity of classical motifs in 18th-century decorative arts. The drawing, now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, serves as a valuable example of Schijnvoet’s talent for decorative design and his ability to capture the spirit of the Rococo period.
