Table clock, late 19th century in patinated and gilded bronze. Shows signs of wear.

The work was conceived through a sculptural concept characteristic of this period. It consists of a base with sharp edges, which reflects the taste for clean volumes characteristic of the aesthetics of the period. On the upper part of the base, extensively decorated with vegetal motifs, there is a lady in a toga in the classical manner: Euterpe, Goddess and patroness of music.
