Limited edition lithograph titled The Baking Day by artist William Nelson. This detailed still life composition depicts a rustic brick wall with weathered plaster revealing the brick beneath, centered around an open window. Resting on the windowsill are fresh loaves of bread and fruit, creating a warm and nostalgic scene that evokes traditional home baking and old-world charm. Nelson’s use of texture and layered color enhances the realism of the aged wall and the inviting simplicity of the subject.

Verso retains the official artist statement identifying the artist, title The Baking Day with Frame, medium as limited edition lithograph, dimensions 20 x 26.5, edition size of 300, and year 1985. Professionally matted and housed in a black frame, ready for display.
