Salvador Dali 1926, vintage oil painting on canvas , antique wooden frame, black back drop
12x12
Hello, this item is a painting titled “The Basket of Bread,” signed and dated 1926 with the inscription “Salvador Dalí.” The original work by Dalí, painted in 1926 and housed in the Salvador Dalí Museum in Figueres, represents one of his earliest explorations of hyperrealism and symbolic austerity before his Surrealist period. The depicted basket with bread on a simple table background is among his most recognizable early still lifes.
However, based on the visible image, framing, and brushwork, this appears to be a reproduction or later copy, not an original oil by Dalí. The signature’s form and placement differ slightly from verified examples, and no documentation or provenance links it to Dalí’s catalogued works. Reproductions of “The Basket of Bread,” both printed and hand-painted, were produced widely in the mid-20th century. As such, its market value likely falls between 150 and 300 USD as a decorative vintage piece. Authentication by a Dalí expert or foundation would be required to determine any potential original attribution.
