The artwork titled “Eggs in an Egg Crate” was created by the artist Mary Pratt in 1975. It belongs to the Photorealism art movement and is classified under the still life genre.
In this artwork, a carton of eggs is depicted with remarkable attention to detail. The egg crate, crafted from the characteristic tan-colored material, contains a combination of whole and cracked eggs. The realistic representation captures the texture and delicate translucence of the egg shells, imbued with rich, warm hues of yellow and brown. The interplay of light and shadow highlights the three-dimensionality of the eggs and the crate, showcasing the artist’s adeptness in rendering everyday subjects with precision and depth, embodying the essence of photorealism.
