Sitting man with clock case on base of rocail, painted in a colorful way. The decorative clock base in the sense of the rococo asymmetrically designed is characterized by the ornamentation of the rocaille, which is combined with vegetal elements and ornamental parts. On this tangle of detail forms the sitting cavalier is arranged in hunting clothes to the left of the clock. He seems to point to the clock. In this combination, the vegetal clock base becomes the arbor of the male shape that inserts itself. The model seems to have been a particularly popular model in the production of the manufactory and has been produced very long and in various variations (there is this model also with a lady sitting from the clock on the right), which is noticed especially on faces, clothes and colors
