The two children are John the Baptist and Jesus, with the latter giving the former a drink from a shell. Although the scene is not biblical, it is a perfectly plausible situation, as they were cousins and close during their childhood.
This is one of the most recognizable works of the painter, combining elements in which the artist excelled: painting of children and the baroque style. Therefore, he achieved a beautiful and balanced composition that has been reproduced countless times on all kinds of mediums including prints, t-shirts, and other fashionable and decorative objects.
