This small, circular engraving, titled "Wijzerplaat met Vader Tijd" (Clock Face with Father Time), was created by an anonymous artist sometime after 1703. The artwork depicts a clock face with Roman numerals and a central image of two figures representing Father Time, a common motif associated with mortality and the fleeting nature of time. This piece is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the period, as the intricate details of the clock face and the symbolic figures are rendered with great precision. The artwork is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
