This 17th-century bas-relief by Valérien Regnard, a French sculptor, depicts a scene with three putti (winged cherubs) flanking a round medallion. The central medallion displays the legendary founding of Rome by the brothers Romulus and Remus, who were raised by a she-wolf. The piece's small size, measuring just 229 mm by 243 mm, suggests it was likely intended for a private collection or a small-scale architectural setting. The subject matter alludes to the enduring legacy of the Roman Empire, a popular motif in art during this period.
