The 450-year-old portrait which is being displayed in a gallery shows a part of the golden timepiece and has been sent to a renaissance expert to investigate it.
The first watch was invented in 1500 in Germany and this picture was drawn around 1560. This picture shows a close ralationship between science and art at that time.
This picture has been in the museum's collection for 33 years and a curator found it and decided to research it. It was painted by the renaissance master Maso da San Friano and the model of portrait is known as Cosimo I de Medici, Duke of Florence who was interested in science and art.
