"The Pie Eater" (Spanish: "El Niño de la Espina" or "El Muchacho Comiendo Fruta") is a renowned oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created circa 1645–1650. This work is one of the numerous genre paintings for which Murillo is celebrated, depicting everyday life in his native Seville during the 17th century. The painting portrays a young boy in a candid moment as he eats a pie, capturing the innocence and simplicity of childhood.

Murillo's skill in rendering the textures of the boy's clothing and the pie, as well as the play of light and shadow on his face, exemplifies the artist's mastery of naturalistic detail and his ability to convey a sense of immediacy and realism. The work is imbued with a sense of warmth and humanity, which is characteristic of Murillo's approach to genre scenes.

"The Pie Eater" is often noted for its composition and the artist's use of chiaroscuro to enhance the three-dimensional effect of the figure. The painting's charm lies in its subject matter, which deviates from the more common religious themes of the period, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the lower classes in 17th-century Spain.

As with many of Murillo's paintings, "The Pie Eater" has been widely reproduced and studied, and it remains an important example of Spanish Baroque art. The original work is held in a private collection, and its provenance and critical reception over the years have contributed to its status as a significant piece in the oeuvre of Murillo.
