About the piece
Attributed to the renowned Spanish master Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, this mid-17th-century work exemplifies the Baroque interest in humble, everyday life. Through a sophisticated use of chiaroscuro and a warm, earthy palette, Murillo elevates a simple scene of a boy eating peaches into a timeless study of light, texture, and human character.
