Ontwerp voor een pendule ter gelegenheid van een huwelijk c. 1800 - 1815

This is a design for a pendulum clock by the French artist François Gérard. The artwork depicts a couple standing under a pediment, adorned with classical motifs, surrounded by cherubs, suggesting a celebratory piece for a wedding. Gérard, a prominent Neoclassical painter, is known for his portraits and historical scenes. This delicate pencil drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies the artist's attention to detail and his engagement with the design arts.
