I.3.25 Pompeii. December 2006. Doorway to cubiculum on south side of peristyle, looking towards south-east corner. According to Trendelenburg, the colours of the surviving two paintings in this room were very faded. The details from the paintings could not be seen with certainty. However, the painting to the left of the doorway, on the east wall, represented Andromeda being liberated by Perseus. In the painting on the south wall, could be seen a young sitting man (perhaps Narcissus? - but according to Sogliano this was Ciparisso - See Sogliano, A., 1879. Le pitture murali campane scoverte negli anni 1867-79. Napoli: Giannini, p.28, no.109). The painting on the door (north) wall was destroyed, and the one on the west wall was replaced by a window. See Trendelenburg in BdI, 1871, (p.174-5)

I.3.25 Pompeii. December 2006. Cubiculum. Detail of frieze and plaster stucco in south-west corner.

In the west wall would have been a window overlooking the garden, on right.

The compartments that occupied the middle of each wall, would have been large and decorated with a painting on the red background.

The two other compartments that flanked the red one would have been painted with flying cupids on a yellow background.

A cornice of stucco adorned with various colours ran around the upper wall, and above that was an ornate frieze.

The frieze was decorated with pretty arabesques with cupids and some animals.
