A Loaf of Bread

The rich mahogany background of this painting is typical of Max’s still life work of a few decades ago.  He did several paintings featuring food–maybe sustenance is a better word.  This crusty loaf needs no accompaniment but a swig from the pewter jug beside it.  The grapes and copper pot below offer another example of Max’s work from this period.
