Cascarone (eggshell) Stick Pin

Harry Mann Waddell

National Gallery of Art

The image features a large, ornate egg with a decorative design in its center, placed on a layer of pink and green petals. The color palette consists of soft pastel tones including white, pink, green, and a hint of gold at the top of the egg. The egg is centrally located in the composition with the flower petals surrounding it, and a thin green stem extends downward. The background is plain off-white, and the name "Harry Mann Waddell" is written in small text in the lower right corner.
