FRENCH SCHOOL, circa 1640, ENTOURAGE DE SIMON VOUET La facétie de Cérès Canvas Without frame Height : 96 cm Width : 129 cm The subject is taken from Ovid's Metamorphoses, book 5, verses 438-461 : Cérès travels the world for nine days and nine nights in search of her daughter Proserpine, kidnapped by Pluto. Thirsty, she is relieved by an old woman who offers her a drink but she is then ridiculed by a cheeky child who calls her a glutton. Ceres immediately transforms him into a small animal with a lizard tail.
