“Hollowed Eggs for Easter” is a piece of artwork by Mary Pratt, created in the year 1983. It is a notable work within the Photorealism art movement and falls under the genre of still life.
The artwork depicts a meticulously detailed arrangement of hollowed eggs placed on a wooden surface, covered partially with a piece of cloth. The eggs emit a gentle, soft glow, and the precision in capturing light and shadow stands as a testament to Pratt’s adeptness in the Photorealism style. The setting appears to be a domestic kitchen counter, with the backdrop showcasing a metal sink, faucet, and a carton from where the eggs presumably originated. The overall composition evokes a sense of serene simplicity and domestic familiarity, capturing the quiet beauty in everyday objects with remarkable realism.
