Bread Basket c. 1940

"Bread Basket" is a watercolor painting by John H. Tercuzzi, created around 1940. The artwork depicts a simple, yet elegant, metal bread basket with a delicate floral design painted on the inside. The basket is rendered in detail, with the artist capturing the texture of the metal and the intricate latticework of the sides. Tercuzzi, who lived from 1855 to 1995, is known for his still life paintings and his ability to capture the beauty of everyday objects. The painting's simple subject matter and meticulous detail make it a fine example of Tercuzzi's style.
