Lithograph around 1900, pen and ink drawing: Two corpulent men sit at a small round table in an elegant room. An egg falls and hits the scene right in the middle of the action: it splatters, drips, and triggers hectic reactions. One of the men is still holding a small vessel, while the other looks up in surprise. On the table are latte cups, a coffee pot, and a bowl of vanilla ice cream; a few drops and splatters are visible. Classic, clear comic illustration with black humor, strong clean contours, expressive facial expressions, detailed character comedy, slightly chaotic scene, square format 1:1, no rounded corners.
