"Boys Eating Fruit (Grape and Melon Eaters)" is a notable oil painting created by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo between 1645 and 1646. This work is exemplary of Murillo's genre scenes, which often depicted the everyday life of children in a naturalistic and sympathetic manner. The painting portrays two young boys seated on the ground, deeply engaged in the act of consuming fruit with a sense of immediacy and enjoyment that is characteristic of Murillo's approach to capturing the innocence and simplicity of youth.

The composition is marked by its use of light and shadow, which not only highlights the tactile qualities of the fruit and the boys' expressions but also serves to enhance the three-dimensional form of the figures within the space. Murillo's skillful rendering of textures and his attention to detail in the depiction of the fruits' succulence are particularly noteworthy. The painting's warm color palette and the gentle interaction between the figures reflect a moment of quiet pleasure and companionship.

"Boys Eating Fruit (Grape and Melon Eaters)" is considered an important work within Murillo's oeuvre, as it illustrates the artist's adeptness at genre painting—a field less commonly associated with his name compared to his religious works. The painting is also significant for its contribution to the genre of bodegón, a type of Spanish still life painting that often includes figures and is concerned with the realistic depiction of domestic scenes and everyday objects.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of Murillo's work and the broader context of 17th-century Spanish art. The piece remains a subject of interest for art historians and scholars who study the social and cultural aspects of the Baroque period, as well as those who appreciate the artistic portrayal of the human condition.
