"Children with a Shell" (Spanish: "Niños con caracol") is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created circa 1670. This work is exemplary of Murillo's genre paintings, which often depicted street children and the everyday life of the lower classes in Seville during the 17th century. The painting is characterized by its tender representation of childhood and the playful interaction between the figures and their environment.

The artwork features two young boys, one of whom is blowing through a shell presumably to produce sound, while the other listens attentively. The use of light and shadow, as well as the naturalistic portrayal of the children, reflects Murillo's skill in capturing the innocence and simplicity of his subjects. The painting's composition, with its soft color palette and the gentle expressions of the children, conveys a sense of warmth and intimacy that is typical of Murillo's approach to genre scenes.

"Children with a Shell" is often highlighted for its contribution to the genre of portraiture and its influence on the depiction of children in art. Murillo's ability to evoke the carefree and unguarded moments of childhood has made this painting an enduring example of his artistic legacy. The work is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities as well as its sociocultural significance, offering insight into the lives of common people in Golden Age Spain.

The painting is part of the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and historical value. As with many of Murillo's works, "Children with a Shell" has been subject to various interpretations and scholarly discussions, further cementing its status as an important piece within the oeuvre of one of Spain's most beloved painters.
