His back stooped from the effort, the man on the corner of Vattugatan and Klara Södra Kyrkogata carrying a Linderoth clock, Stockholm, Sweden

---

The bronze sculpture was designed by Gottfrid Larsson in 1903 and placed on the old Stockholm Tidningens building. That building was however torn down at the end of the 1980s but the clock remained in the shadow of the replacement building, in the midst of a sterile and traffic-heavy area dotted with offices. The words Stockholms Tidningen are engraved in the greenish bronze above the Roman numeral clock, befittingly topped with an hourglass. Perhaps the passing of time is the man’s ultimate burden.
