Vertumnus and Pomona is a 1638 oil by Jacob Jordaens, depicting Pomona, held at National Museum of Ancient Art.
This painting shows two figures in a lush outdoor setting. The woman, dressed in a brown skirt and a white cloth over her shoulder, sits on the ground with her back to us. She looks at the man, who is standing and wearing a red robe. He has long hair and is barefoot. The scene is set among trees and bushes, with a few tools like a shovel and a basket visible. A notable detail is the man's gesture, as he reaches out to touch the woman's shoulder. This subtle interaction adds a sense of intimacy to the scene.
