Fresh Eggs is a 1882 ink by Thomas Waterman Wood, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman and a child in a dim, cluttered room. The woman stands on a stool, reaching up to a high shelf, while the child looks up at her. Around them, barrels, a ladder, and a broom lean against the walls. Light streams through a small window, casting shadows on the rough wood floor. The artist used sharp lines to show texture—like the woman’s dress or the grain of the barrels. This style highlights everyday life, not fancy scenes.
