Ladies and Gentlemen,

allow myself to submit a historic family memento to the GA.PA National Gallery – a standing clock signed ANTON OTZWIRG in WIEN – (1st half of the 19th century?)

I remember that this clock always stood in my great-grandparents’ living room in Krakow, and after their departure I became its heir. I always have the strange impression that he was just as patiently measuring time to our ancestors, pointing out their customary times of the day, and trying to remind us of some eternal truths.

Yours sincerely,

St.S.
