Of unusual form, this 'tafelklok' or 'haagscheklok' clearly draws its inspiration from Italian night clocks. Dr. Plomp (op cit) suggests the painted dial may be by Cornelis Palmer, a pupil of Cornelis van Poelenburgh (c. 1586-1667), to whom it has traditionally been attributed. Plomp illustrates and discusses another of these clocks by Visbagh (p. 242, fig 134) and notes the two as 'exceptional for Holland'.
