Folk art, original composition, one of a kind painting by Fergus Henderson, "Sunday Afternoon and Soft-Boiled Eggs." It is signed on the back of the painting.

"Here is another wonderfully simple and interesting painting by Fergus Henderson. This painting is the most colorful one I have seen with the exception of his night scene paintings. The composition is more complex than usual and yet still so clear. I especially like the play between negative and positive spaces, the sofa chair and the side table. One can even make out which burner is on by looking at the stove knob! I am guessing, by the title of the painting, it is a scene of a family home on a Sunday afternoon with the soft-boild eggs over the stove. There are two empty plates set so I imagin they will have lunch soon. It is painted on a canvas stretchers, acrylic and measures 11" x 14" x 3/4". The composition is wonderful, simple, and clear."
