"Not an Egg" is a notable painting by the American artist Thomas Waterman Wood, who was renowned for his genre scenes and portraits that often depicted everyday life and social issues of the 19th century. Created in 1882, this work exemplifies Wood's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the subtleties of human expression and interaction.

The painting portrays a humorous and engaging scene in which a young boy, with a look of surprise and curiosity, holds up a small object that he has presumably mistaken for an egg. The title, "Not an Egg," suggests the twist in the narrative, inviting viewers to ponder what the object might actually be. Wood's use of light and shadow, as well as his meticulous attention to the textures of the boy's clothing and the surrounding environment, adds depth and realism to the scene.

Thomas Waterman Wood was an influential figure in American art, serving as president of the National Academy of Design from 1891 to 1899.

"Not an Egg" is a prime example of his ability to blend humor with a keen observation of human nature.

The painting is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be appreciated by visitors for its charm and technical excellence.
