About the piece
This 1617 oil on copper by Dutch Master Jan Tengnagel captures a dramatic moment from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Vertumnus, the god of seasons, assumes the guise of an old woman to woo Pomona, the nymph of fruit trees, who sits pensively surrounded by the tools of her trade in an Italianate garden setting.
