Pomona 1787

"Pomona," a 1787 stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi, depicts the Roman goddess of fruit and gardens. The artwork shows Pomona, a young woman, holding a basket of fruit while a child reaches for a fruit from a tree. The image is framed in a circular form and is reminiscent of a painting, highlighting the artistry of the engraving. The engraving was published by John and Josiah Boydell, who were known for promoting the arts in Britain. This artwork was likely intended for a general audience and serves as a beautiful representation of a classical mythology figure.
