"Grandfather's Clock" is a painting by the American artist De Scott Evans (1847–1898), who was known for his trompe-l'oeil, or "fool the eye," still-life works. This genre of painting is characterized by its realistic imagery that creates the optical illusion that depicted objects exist in three dimensions. Completed in 1876, "Grandfather's Clock" is a prime example of Evans' skill in this style, showcasing his ability to blend technical precision with a keen eye for detail.

The painting features a life-sized depiction of a grandfather clock, rendered with such meticulous attention to texture, light, and shadow that viewers might initially believe they are looking at a real clock rather than a two-dimensional representation. The artwork is often noted for its symbolism and the themes of time and mortality, common motifs in still-life painting. Evans' work plays with the viewer's perception and invites contemplation on the nature of art and reality.

"Grandfather's Clock" is considered an important work within Evans' oeuvre and within the broader context of American trompe-l'oeil painting of the late 19th century. It exemplifies the period's fascination with illusionism and the technical prowess of artists who sought to challenge the viewer's senses. The painting is also a testament to the enduring popularity of trompe-l'oeil in American art and its role in the exploration of visual and psychological experiences.

As with many works of art from this era, "Grandfather's Clock" has been the subject of study by art historians and critics who appreciate its aesthetic qualities and its place in the evolution of American art. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be exhibited and discussed as a significant example of De Scott Evans' artistic legacy and the trompe-l'oeil tradition.
