"The Dandelion Clock" is a painting by the Irish artist William John Hennessy (1839–1917), created in 1860. This artwork is a fine example of the Victorian genre painting, which was popular during the 19th century. The painting is known for its detailed depiction of a young girl in a rural setting, capturing a moment of innocence and simplicity. The title refers to the common practice of using the seed head of a dandelion to tell the time by blowing the seeds away, which is a central element in the painting.

Hennessy's work is characterized by its attention to detail, use of color, and the ability to evoke emotion through everyday scenes. "The Dandelion Clock" is no exception, as it skillfully portrays the fleeting nature of childhood and the passage of time. The painting's composition and the subject matter resonate with the themes of transience and the bittersweet aspects of growing up, which were common in the art and literature of the period.

William John Hennessy was a prominent member of the Royal Hibernian Academy and his works were widely exhibited during his lifetime. "The Dandelion Clock" has been appreciated for its aesthetic beauty and its evocative portrayal of a universal human experience. The painting remains an important piece within Hennessy's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance within the context of 19th-century art.
