"The Little Fruit Seller" is a notable oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created circa 1670–1675. This work is one of Murillo's genre paintings, which often depicted everyday life in 17th-century Seville with a tender and idealized vision. The painting portrays a young boy, a street vendor, offering fruit from a basket, accompanied by a younger child, possibly his sibling, who gazes directly at the viewer with an expression of innocence and vulnerability.

Murillo's mastery in capturing the effects of light and shadow is evident in this piece, as is his skillful rendering of textures, from the softness of the children's skin to the varied surfaces of the fruits and the woven basket. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the figures situated in a natural and relaxed manner, which adds to the lifelike and engaging quality of the scene.

"The Little Fruit Seller" is significant for its representation of the lower classes in Spanish society, a theme that Murillo returned to throughout his career. His empathetic portrayal of his subjects avoids the extremes of caricature or sentimentality, instead offering a dignified and compassionate view of the poor. This painting is also an example of Murillo's ability to convey religious and moral themes subtly, as the innocence of the children can be interpreted as a reflection of Christian virtues.

The artwork is held in high esteem for its artistic qualities and as a window into the social conditions of the time. It is part of the collection of the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, where it continues to be studied and admired by art historians and the general public alike. "The Little Fruit Seller" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Murillo and a testament to his status as one of the leading figures of the Spanish Golden Age of painting.
