In legend, Pomona was a wood nymph whose passion was all for her orchards and vineyards, in which men were not allowed. The god Vertumnus appeared to her in various disguises, finally as an old woman. Here the beautiful Pomona, decked with cherries, grapes, and apples, is holding her trademark pruning knife, as Vertumnus in disguise chides her for her hard-heartedness. He points to a vine twining about a tree, and tells how the tree and vine would each be useless without the other. (Dutch Master, 1625)
