Les Oeufs de Pâques is a 1878 ink by Vicomte Ludovic Lepic, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a big, empty egg floating in water. Inside the egg, three small birds with big eyes are peeking out. Around the egg, there’s a quill pen, some feathers, and a few tiny sketches of people and plants. The empty egg might symbolize something waiting to happen—like an idea or a surprise. The birds inside look curious, as if they’re about to fly out. If you like this odd mix of nature and art, check out etching to see how artists like this make detailed prints.
