Pomona Britannica: No. 64 - Scarlet Flesh Romana Melon

George Brookshaw

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a melon's top half on a gray surface. The melon is round with dark green stripes and is orange with green on the outside and pink on the inside. The melon's stem stretches behind it, with two large green leaves and several yellow flowers. A long vine runs across the top with several tendrils on the vine. A portion of a smaller vine with green leaves and yellow flowers extends from behind the gray surface on the bottom left. The background is dark brown, and the image sits on a light-tan background.
