"Urchins Eating Fruit" is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created during the 17th century, a period in which Murillo gained recognition for his religious works as well as his genre paintings depicting everyday life. This particular artwork is an exemplar of Murillo's genre scenes, which often featured children from the lower strata of society, capturing them with a blend of realism and idealism that was characteristic of his approach.

The painting portrays a group of street urchins, engaged in the simple act of eating fruit, a subject that allowed Murillo to explore themes of innocence, poverty, and the transient joys of childhood. The composition is marked by a sense of immediacy and intimacy, as Murillo's skillful use of light and shadow plays across the faces of the children, highlighting their expressions and the tactile qualities of the fruit they consume.

Murillo's ability to convey the textures of skin, fabric, and food, as well as the emotional resonance of his subjects, has made "Urchins Eating Fruit" a compelling study of the human condition and an important work within the artist's oeuvre. The painting not only reflects the social realities of 17th-century Seville but also demonstrates Murillo's mastery of the genre and his profound empathy for his subjects.

While the exact date of creation is not definitively known, "Urchins Eating Fruit" is often dated to the latter half of the 1640s, a period during which Murillo was establishing his reputation in Seville. The painting's provenance and current location, as well as its influence on subsequent artists and its place within the broader context of Spanish Baroque art, contribute to its historical and cultural significance.
