Botticelli
Botticelli "Madonna of the Pomegranate" (1487) Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence
"She [Odette] had at this moment their downcast, heart-broken expression, which seems ready to succumb beneath the burden of a grief too heavy to be borne when they are merely allowing the Infant Jesus to play with a pomegranate." — Swann's Way
