"Boy with a Basket of Bread" is a notable still life painting by the Italian Baroque artist Evaristo Baschenis, created in the 17th century. Baschenis, born in Bergamo in 1617 and active until his death in 1677, was renowned for his detailed and realistic depictions of musical instruments, which often included other elements such as books, manuscripts, and, as seen in this work, food items.

The painting features a young boy holding a basket filled with loaves of bread, a subject that diverges from Baschenis's typical focus on inanimate objects. The inclusion of a human figure in his still life composition is relatively rare and adds a layer of narrative and emotional depth to the work. The boy's gaze, possibly directed towards an unseen customer or companion, invites viewers into a moment of everyday life in 17th-century Italy.

"Boy with a Basket of Bread" is characterized by Baschenis's meticulous attention to texture and light, with the bread's crust and the weave of the basket rendered in fine detail. The play of light and shadow not only highlights the realism of the objects but also enhances the three-dimensionality of the composition. The painting's chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, is typical of the Baroque period and adds to the dramatic effect.

While the exact date of creation is not documented, the painting is often dated to the mid-17th century, a period when Baschenis was at the height of his artistic powers. "Boy with a Basket of Bread" is considered an important work in Baschenis's oeuvre as it showcases his skill beyond the portrayal of inanimate objects and contributes to our understanding of genre scenes in Italian Baroque art.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be a subject of study for art historians interested in Baroque still life and the intersection of genre painting and still life in this period. It is also an exemplary piece for those studying the cultural and social significance of food and everyday life in art history.
