Cornelis Holsteyn, attributed (Dutch, 1618-1658) Vertumnus and Pomona, n.d.

This depiction is based on an episode from Ovid's Metamorphoses. The god of vegetation Vertumnus falls in love with the goddess of tree fruits Pomona, but she rejects him. He unsuccessfully courts her in the guise of various characters until he approaches her disguised as an old woman and thus gains access to her garden.
