About the piece

Attributed to the Dutch artist Cesar van Everdingen, this mid-17th-century masterpiece depicts a scene from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. The work is celebrated for its clear lighting and the exquisite rendering of textures—from the shimmering red silk of Pomona's skirt to the velvety surface of the ripening fruit at her feet.
