KATINKA KRIJGSMAN FRYING PAN WITH EGG PAINTING: IDENTIFICATION

This appears to be a large-scale, trompe l'œil painting depicting a fried egg set within an elaborately decorated blue-and-white 'plate' or 'frying pan'. The execution is highly realistic, particularly the rendering of the egg yolk and the viscous quality of the egg white, complete with illusory reflections. The 'plate' itself features a decorative border of blue floral motifs, reminiscent of Delftware or transferware patterns, alongside a gilded rim. The signature 'Katinka Krijgsman' is visible along the lower edge of the blue floral band.
