Which 1926 Salvador Dalí painting shows a basket of bread on a table?

Salvador Dalí’s 1926 painting showing a basket of bread on a table is The Basket of Bread.

Dalí painted The Basket of Bread during an early period in which he explored precise, realistic technique. The work presents an ordinary loaf and basket with careful attention to texture, light, and surface detail. Its subject is humble, but the controlled realism gives it unusual visual intensity.

The painting predates Dalí’s mature international fame as a Surrealist. It was created before many of the dream-based images for which he became best known, and it demonstrates that his technical skill was not limited to fantastic or irrational subjects.

The work is also associated with Dalí’s recurring interest in bread as a Spanish and Catalan cultural symbol. It should not be confused with his later painting Basket of Bread—Rather Death, which uses a related subject but belongs to a different period and has a different title.
