Egg in a Cup – Anthony Marn
A tiny breakfast thief takes centre stage in Anthony Marn’s Egg in a Cup. Beside a soft-boiled egg in a gleaming silver-coloured egg cup, a bright-eyed mouse nibbles its prize, its oversized pink ears and curling tail adding to the gentle mischief. Broken eggshell rests on the wooden ledge, while olive-green tones, textured walls and deep shadows lend the scene a nostalgic, old-world warmth.
For anyone with a soft spot for mice and their mischievous ways, this endearing little breakfast thief brings a quiet storytelling charm to the painting.
Light catches the egg cup and the mouse’s delicate whiskers, bringing this intimate little scene to life. This original oil painting on board is presented in a rustic distressed wood frame with a white inner slip, a characterful finish that complements its vintage feel.
A Hidden Mouse Remarque
There is another little mouse to discover on the reverse of the frame: Anthony has drawn a tiny remarque in pencil, a personal finishing touch from the artist. Hidden from view when the painting is displayed, it is a lovely extra detail for its owner to enjoy.
