The Bread Line by Max Kalish: A dark bronze sculpture of a group of people standing on a green marble base. The group consists of six people, all with their heads tilted down or to the side. A woman in a long dress stands in the center, holding a baby. Two men stand on either side of her, one with his hands on his stomach and the other with his hands on a cane. Two additional people are partially obscured behind the central woman. The sculpture appears to be a depiction of a bread line, with the people gathered together in a somber mood. The base is a dark green marble with a rough texture. The background is a gradient from dark gray to light gray.
