Description

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo painted two young boys in his work Children Eating Grapes and a Melon (c. 1645–1650), a genre scene depicting the boys engrossed in eating the fruit. This painting, housed in Munich's Alte Pinakothek, is one of Murillo's celebrated genre works featuring children, though he is primarily known for his religious art. The realistic portrayal of the children and their consumption of fruit showcases a theme of poverty and everyday life that was popular with foreign merchants at the time.

Oil on canvas, circa 19th Century. Features an ornate Baroque style giltwood frame.

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (Spanish, 1617-1682),
