Children Eating Grapes, Murillo Workshop, attributed to Juan Simón Gutiérrez, 18th century - Oil on canvas reproducing one of the most popular scenes of the Sevillian Baroque: a group of children sitting on the ground, smiling, eating grapes and bread, with a mischievous and natural expression. This period copy, faithful to the style of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, is characterized by the tenderness of the children's faces, the enveloping use of chiaroscuro, and the gentle brushstrokes. The warm tones, triangular composition, and directed lighting reinforce the intimate and joyful atmosphere of the scene. The technical quality of the copy stands out for its precise physiognomy and its narrative sense. This work reflects the nineteenth-century interest in reinterpreting Golden Age models, consolidating their decorative and documentary value. Dimensions: 94 x 79 cm and 99 x 78 cm.
