"Boys Eating Fruit (also known as Two Boys Eating Fruit or Grape and Melon Eaters) is a 17th-century oil painting by Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. Created circa 1645–1655, this work is exemplary of Murillo's genre paintings, which often depicted everyday life in his native Seville with a particular focus on the city's street urchins and beggars.

The painting features two young boys in a candid moment of camaraderie and survival, sharing a meal of fruits. One boy is depicted biting into a bunch of grapes, while the other is about to eat a slice of melon. Their tattered clothing and the simplicity of the meal suggest their impoverished status, yet Murillo portrays them with dignity and a sense of contentment that transcends their material circumstances.

Murillo's skillful use of light and shadow, along with his ability to capture the textures of the fruit and the expressions of the boys, imbues the painting with a sense of realism and immediacy. The work is noted for its naturalistic representation of the subjects and the palpable atmosphere of the scene.

Boys Eating Fruit is considered an important work in Murillo's oeuvre, reflecting both his artistic talent and his compassionate insight into the human condition. The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the genre painting tradition and for providing a window into the social realities of 17th-century Spain.

The painting has been part of various collections over the centuries and has been exhibited in numerous museums, reflecting its enduring appeal and significance in the history of art. It continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its rich portrayal of the lives of ordinary people in Baroque-era Spain."
