The cup and egg were not just chosen at random but selected because I wanted to attempt a composition based on a classical motif of curved and straight forms. The idea of curved or rounded forms contrasted against geometric or linear forms goes back to classical design as in Greek motifs of Egg and Dart patterns on architecture.

Egg and Dart motif

Hospital of the Innocents (Ospedale degli Innocenti), Florence, Italy
It’s a classical concept that I chose to use for this small painting.
