Can any one tell me the name of this painting so I can find it?
(Punica granatum) a fruit used by ancient women to prevent conception. This is more for historical interest. Rudolf Fritz Weiss notes the seeds contain an oestrone identical to the genuine hormone [estrogen] and states Punica seeds are the best source of plant oestrone to date. What this all means in the big picture, I have yet to figure out! But this may have something to do with its historical uses as a contraceptive. On an interesting note, I found a Roman statue of a woman holding a pomegranate in her hand, and just before that a painting (on a card) done by a famous painter way back when (don't recall his name off the top of my head) of a woman sitting at a table, her expression is distant and quiet, in her hand she hold a pomegranate with a bite taken from the unpeeled fruit
The work that comes immediately to mind is Dante Gabriel Rossetti's "Proserpine":
