Banjo Clock c. 1937

Ulrich Fischer's "Banjo Clock," a watercolor on paper from c. 1937, is a detailed depiction of a classic American timepiece. The clock features a round face with Roman numerals, a golden trim, and a "Willard Boston" inscription. Below the clock face, the banjo-shaped body is decorated with stylized, colorful floral motifs. The clock rests on a base that depicts a scene with horses pulling a chariot, highlighting the craftsmanship and detail typical of this genre of artwork. The image showcases Fischer's skill in capturing the aesthetic beauty and historical significance of American furniture and decorative arts.
