This is a decorative panel probably intended for a private mansion where it was to fit into a paneling. If the theme is classic - vestals who maintain the sacred fire -, the taste for the decorative vegetation around, the colors and the taste for movement and the arabesques recall the rock art of the middle of the 18th century.
We often confuse the painter Jérôme Preudhomme with Paul Prudhon, almost contemporary but whose style is very different. Preudhomme's art is nevertheless recognizable by its range of very frank colors where we always recognize the same yellow, pink, blue and green. It still belongs to the 18th century.
Originally from Arras, Jérôme Preudhomme arrived in Paris in 1761. In 1773 he was received as a "master painter by experience" by the Academy of Saint-Luc in Paris and exhibited there from 1774. Appointed professor in Paris, he was then named in 1784 professor of the School of drawing of Saint-Quentin founded in 1782 by Maurice Quentin-Latour.
A history painter, Preudhomme was also a genre and landscape painter. Moreover, often dated late, these paintings were probably executed when religious commissions decreased after the Revolution. For example, the "Fantasy Landscape" sold at Christie's in London in 2013 is dated 1800.
