This piece of the famed Orloj Astronomical Clock, was painted from a photo taken a few years back in Prague. First installed in 1410 this medieval curio is the 3rd oldest clock and the oldest running clock in the world.

​Here's an except about this beauty from Wiki :
"The Orloj is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town Hall in the Old Town Square. The clock mechanism has three main components — the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; statues of various Catholic saints stand on either side of the clock; "The Walk of the Apostles", an hourly show of moving Apostle figures and other sculptures, notably a figure of a skeleton that represents Death, striking the time; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months. According to local legend, the city will suffer if the clock is neglected and its good operation is placed in jeopardy; a ghost, mounted on the clock, was supposed to nod its head in confirmation. According to the legend, the only hope was represented by a boy born on New Year's night.[3]"

Jacqueline Gomez is a contemporary Malaysian artist. With Anglo-Indian ancestry, she grew up in an urban, multiracial and cultural environment of Malaysia. This experience surely influenced her viewpoint and motivated her to reflect diversity as fully as she could in her art. Her conceptual works are typically formed and inspired by what she finds in the pages of books, which are her second love, as well as by the unavoidable impacts of the unusual and "interesting" times we are currently experiencing.

Jacqueline Gomez views the constant development of her artistic abilities as essential to the creative process, and she believes the exploration and development of her abilities in various mediums and techniques as one of the many amazing and continuously inspirational aspects of the process. Without the constraints of cultural conventions or traditional beliefs in her local context, her artistic freedom has been essential to her development as an artist.
