The picture contains 15 eggs.
A careful row-by-row count makes the total easier to verify:
Three eggs appear across the top.
Three more sit directly beneath them.
The middle section contains six eggs arranged closely together.
The bottom section contains the final three eggs.
3 + 3 + 6 + 3 = 15
The “12 or 13” wording is designed to influence the first guess, but neither option matches the number of eggs actually visible in the bowl.
