A drawing by the Italian painter Girolamo Romanino, dated c. 1535, showing the herdsman Faustulus discovering the infant twins Romulus and Remus, whom he raised after they were exposed by order of their great uncle and suckled by a she wolf. The scene is the founding legend of Rome, traditionally placed before Romulus went on to found the city and become its first king. Held today by the Cleveland Museum of Art.
