Image description:
A realistic watercolor painting of supermarket shelves stacked with loaves of bread in white wrappers. Each wrapper is printed with the words “Super Soft” “Mrs Wright’s” “30 Slices” and “WHITE” in upper case letters. The tops of a further seven loaves are visible along the bottom of the painting as if they are resting on a lower shelf. A price tag hangs on the left with the number “34” printed on it.
