Watch 1785 - 1795

Robert Robin's "Watch" is a small, delicate piece of artwork created between 1785 and 1795. The watch features a miniature portrait of a woman in a classic style, painted on enamel. This type of watch, known as a "pendant watch," was popular in the 18th century and was often given as a gift or worn as a symbol of status. The watch is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
