According to Breton, several of the rooms here were richly decorated.
This might be from rooms 13, 14 or 15 on west side of peristyle.
Room 15 may be doubtful, as when excavated it had two identifiable paintings, according to Helbig, they were of Danae, and of a Nymph.
This painting of two figures, perhaps Apollo, perhaps Pindar, would have had to be on the third wall and yet not mentioned.
According to PAH, 1,3, dated 27TH
OCTOBER 1810 (p.43) -
“This (room) was almost
all excavated, I say almost, because it had not been possible to lift the earth
in this one, for fear that it would not ruin one side of the same room, it
remains decorated with grotesque architecture, and compartments on a red field,
elegantly painted, and in the middle of it there are good decorative paintings,
with two figures. The upper part of the façade has a white field, on which are
paintings of the usual grotesque decorations made with taste. The zoccolo had a
black field and painted above with marine animals, plants, etc. You see the curve of the vault with a stucco
frame that limited it, and this was partly dyed in various colors. The floor
was “mattone pesto”. Found in this room were the following, despite the fact
that it had already been searched by the ancients, by the walls found
perforated, as by the lapilli found all around in confusion

(Questa
che si era quasi tutta scavata, dico quasi tutta, perche non si era potuto per
intiero levare il terreno in questa, per timore che non ruinasse uno de’lati
della stessa stanza, resta ornata d’architetture grottesche, e compartimenti su
campo rosso, elegantemente dipinti, e ne’mezzi vi sono delle buone pitture
istoriate, con due figure. La parte superiore di cada una facciata ha il campo
bianco, sul quale sono dipinti de’soliti ornati grotteschi fatti con del gusto.
Zo zoccolo era in campo nero e sopra dipinto con animali marini, piante, ec... Si vede il sesto della volta per una cornice
di stucco che la limitava, e questa era in parte tinta a varii colori. Il
pavimento era di mattone pesti. In
questa stanza si era trovato cio che segue, malgrado che essa fosse stata gia
ricercata dagli antichi, si per le mura trovate perforate, come pel lapillo
trovato tutto posto in confusione......Bronzo...............etc)
