Sir Charles Barry's "Clocktower" is a graphite drawing depicting the tower from a low angle, highlighting its height and intricate details. Executed in 1840, the sketch reveals Barry's architectural vision, showcasing the clock tower's prominent position within a larger structure. This drawing, a testament to Barry's architectural style, offers a glimpse into the design process of a prominent British architect of the 19th century. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
