The print showcases a chain-driven mechanism connected to a burning candle, ingeniously measuring the passage of time. The intricate details of this historical piece are truly remarkable. A pulley system and dial can be seen, indicating the strong craftsmanship involved in its creation. The glass-encased candlestick burns steadily as it furnishes light while simultaneously functioning as a clock. As we observe this artwork, we cannot help but marvel at the ingenuity behind such a unique invention.
