The background of this still life can be compared to a whole created by a combination of different colors, clouds flying across the sky or even a calm sea. It seems that a number of rectangular panels are located according to a certain rule. In the center of the picture we see several different clocks that determine the time, which is the “ultimate arbiter”. In the visual arts, clocks represent life, time and life. The author described the stocks of different watches in different ways. This means that every person has different hours of life, good or bad, and everyone has their own time limit. The lamp depicted on the right side of the still life is the “lamp of life”, which indicates that its burning and extinguishing are associated with time. And the key on the left is the “key of life”, which determines, controls and regulates time, life and the limit of life, without a doubt.
