## Commentary

It is a design for a large pendule hung in front of a wall panel. The pendule has a round clock dial placed in a large case built up out of rocaille ornaments. On top a winged female figure holding a garland is seated. On the left the garland is supported by the figure of a small cupid. To the left, part of a door is depicted and on the lower right three arms of a candelabra are visible. The engraver was Gabriel Huquier \(1695–1772\).
