A virtual 3D reconstruction of an artificial red coloured Easter egg decorated with a poem in gold ink by Pierre Kemp for his muse Turkoois, the name he gave to a 21-year old jurist he had met on the train on April 15, 1942
Transcribed text in Dutch:
Dit ei is rood van vreugde dat
’t nooit advocaat kan worden
en niet die struif en gin bevat
als ’t schrikbewind der Orde
en geen nieuw leven door een broed
aan schrikbewindje geven moet.
