Die Vorlage zu dieser Bilderuhr, das Gemälde von Carl von Steuben (1788 - 1856), entstand 1818 und war bereits zu seinen Lebzeiten ein bedeutendes und häufig kopiertes Werk. Neben verschiedenen Kopien unterschiedlicher Qualität auf Leinwand existieren auch Stiche nach dem oft reproduzierten Motiv. Von Steuben war ein Schüler François Gérards und gelangte als Historienmaler bald zu eigener Bedeutung.
