Title

The Chocolate Easter Egg

Description

The Chocolate Easter Egg shows a decorated egg-shaped brown-grey vase decorated with a white vine scroll pattern and a white band filled with a strigill pattern. Three different types of orchids are in the vase. The center group flowers are orange and pink, the two on the right are an off-white with orange, while the two on the left are pink and yellow. In the lower right is a discordantly small woman in a long blue dress dancing with her arms raised. In the left corner there is a hen staring at the vase. The background has been applied vertically with a pink-orange wash that has hints of gray in it.
