"Egg-sellers, 2nd plate (Les marchandes d'oeufs)" is an etching by Alphonse Legros depicting two women sitting on a wooden floor, one holding a basket of eggs. The women are dressed in simple clothing and appear to be impoverished. The scene is a powerful example of Legros’s interest in the lives of the working class and the beauty he found in the everyday. The use of cross-hatching and deep shadows lends a sense of realism and depth to the composition, emphasizing the harsh realities of their existence.
