Clock c. 1938

John Dieterich's "Clock" (c. 1938) is a line drawing depicting a detailed illustration of a tall clock with an eagle on top and an image of a nautical scene with ships at sea on its lower section. The drawing shows both a front view and a side view of the clock, including an indication of scale. The clock is identified as a "Girandole Clock" and its decorative motifs suggest a connection to the decorative arts of the early American period. This piece represents the artist's fascination with the detail and design of historic objects.
