EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite design for a pendulum clock, created by Charles Hutin around 1750-1760, showcases the ornate and intricate artistry of the Baroque era. The clock face is adorned with an ornate scene featuring a cockerel in the center, proudly displaying its crowing crest, while two cherubs lie peacefully on either side, their tiny hands reaching out as if in a moment of slumber. The clock's face is further embellished with putti, or amorini, playfully frolicking amongst birds and other animals. The design, executed in graphite and mineral colors on cardboard, demonstrates the artist's mastery of the medium. The delicate shading and fine lines bring the cherubs' rosy cheeks and the cockerel's feathers to life, while the watercolor accents add depth and dimension to the scene. The clock's design reflects the Dutch and Flemish tradition of creating intricately decorated timepieces, which were highly prized for their beauty and craftsmanship during the 18th century. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offers a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of Europe during this period. The clock's ornate design, with its combination of animal, bird, and cherub motifs, exemplifies the Baroque era's love of ornamentation and the celebration of the natural world.
