A shepherd with two babies in a cradle beside a wolf, with a classical building in the background.

There, they were found by a shepherd. He was walking by the river, when he saw a cradle lying under a fig tree, and beside the cradle, stood a large wolf. She had taken care of the children, but now she ran away into the woods and the shepherd carried the babies home to his wife. She named them Romulus and Remus, and brought them up as shepherds.
