Watchcase cover: Pomona and Vertumnus 1600 - 1625

This enamel watchcase cover, created by Suzanne de Court between 1600 and 1625, depicts the mythological figures Pomona and Vertumnus. The miniature scene is rendered in vibrant enamel colors on a silver base, with the central figures standing out against a backdrop of foliage and birds. This exquisite piece of jewelry, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of Limoges enamel work during the Renaissance.
