English: French Empire clock print of a drawing depicting a mother and daughter.
The design of this French Empire clock can be attributed to Jean-André Reiche (1752-1817). Reiche, born in Leipzig, worked in Paris and created several clock designs for the Emperor Napoleon. This clock, depicting an astronomy lesson between a mother and daughter, was among them. Female scholarship was a favored motif of Reiche; he produced several clock designs with women reading and studying. The print is likely a copy of Reiche's original design for the clock. Many of Reiche's designs for Napoleon are held at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris, including his series of female scholars. This design was given in 1807. A faint title underneath the drawing identifies it as "La Leçon d'astronomie," or, "The Astronomy Lesson." |
