Children with Grapes is a 1650 oil by Bernhard Keil, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting shows two children and a dog in a dark landscape. The boy on the left is wearing a white shirt and red pants, and he's holding a basket of grapes. The girl on the right is wearing a blue dress and a white apron, and she's reaching for the grapes. A small dog is sitting next to her. The background is dark, with some trees and hills visible. The children and the dog are all looking at the grapes, which are the main focus of the painting. The grapes are depicted in detail, with some of them spilling out of the basket. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and contrast, drawing the viewer's eye to the grapes and the children's faces.
