Ontwerp voor klok met leeuwen en wapen van Amsterdam 1874 - 1945

This detailed drawing by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet (1864-1945) depicts a design for a clock featuring the coat of arms of Amsterdam. Created sometime between 1874 and 1945, the design showcases a large clock face flanked by lions and topped by a sundial, reflecting a blend of classical and symbolic elements. The intricate details of the clock's design, including the ornate ornamentation and the prominent Amsterdam coat of arms, suggest a grand and monumental clock likely intended for a public space. This design, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers insight into Cachet's artistry and the decorative trends of his time.
