The Basket of Bread is a painting by Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí. The painting depicts four pieces of bread with butter on them sitting in a basket. One is separated from the others and is half-bitten. The basket sits on a white cloth. The painting resides at the Salvador Dalí Museum St. Petersburg Florida. The painting was completed in 1926 when Dalí was twenty-two years old shortly after he had finished his formal art class in Madrid where he was studying the Dutch Masters.
