This is the Ghost Clock. It was made of bleached Honduras mahogany by Wendell Castle in 1985. It's at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington D.C.
At first glance Ghost Clock appears to be a grandfather clock hidden under a white sheet. However, a closer look reveals a masterful deception: this entire sculpture was hand-carved from a single block of laminated mahogany. With its meticulous detail, Castle re-created in wood the contours of soft, supple cloth, then completed the illusion by bleaching the “drapery” white and staining the base of the “clock” a walnut brown. This work is the last in a series of thirteen clocks the artist created in the 1980s; unlike the others, it lacks an inner mechanism. Its haunting stillness and silence suggest eternity–the absence of time.

That sounds suspiciously like what someone who covered a clock with a sheet would say.
