EROTIC AUTOMATON CLOCK WITH CHIME

The depictions are quotations from famous paintings, in the foreground Francois Boucher's "Resting Girl", 1751 (after the version in the Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne). In the upper centre of the picture, a possible reference to Antoine Watteau's Fêtes galantes can be seen as a picture within a picture, which opens automatically on the hour and shows the moving and masturbating Cupid hidden behind it, who is derived from Parmigianino's "Arch Carving Cupid" (between 1534-1539, KHM Vienna).
