"The Basket of Bread" (1926) 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 Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The painting was completed in 1926 when he was twenty-two years old, shortly after Dalí finished his formal art class in Madrid where he was studying the Dutch Masters. [ [http://www.daliweb.tampa.fl.us/25.htm The Basket of Bread at Daliweb.tampa.fl.us] ] It is flawlessly realistic, simply showing pieces of bread. The painting is not to be confused with Dalí's 1945 painting "Basket of Bread".
