About the piece
Painted by Hendrik Goltzius in 1615, this work illustrates Ovid's myth of the wood nymph Pomona and the god Vertumnus, who disguised himself as an old woman to win her heart. The piece showcases Goltzius's characteristic focus on the human form, rendered with soft lighting and a rich palette of deep reds and earthy browns that bring a sophisticated presence to any space.
