From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Statue of Ceres is an oil on oak panel by Peter Paul Rubens, created c. 1615. It shows putti offering garlands to a statue of the Roman fertility goddess Ceres. It is held in the Hermitage Museum, in St Petersburg.[1]
It was sold in The Hague for 1210 guilders in 1760 and eight years later was acquired in Brussels for the Hermitage from Carl de Coben's collection.[2]
