About this work
In the foreground a woman with large golden wings and an ornate feathered headdress holds a small hourglass close to her chest, standing beneath a carved stone arch. Behind her, sunlit Gothic palace facades rise over a flooded canal where a golden winged lion wades through the water, a tiny bronze figure tops a distant column, and bridges recede toward the horizon.
Warm gold and amber sunset light washes the pale stone architecture, contrasting with cooler shadowed tones around the foreground figure. Smooth, detailed brushwork blends realistic architecture with an invented, symbolic figure, giving the scene an allegorical, dreamlike mood centered on time and the flooded city.
