Architectural painting of a vestibule. The columns have Ionic capitals but no bases, and the cornice has ornamental corbels and triglyphs closer to the Doric. Below are two vignettes showing Egyptian gods: Osiris and priest and snake, and Osiris and Isis. Copperplate engraved by Tommaso Piroli from his own "Antichita di Ercolano" (Antiquities of Herculaneum), Rome, 1789. Italian artist and engraver Piroli (1752-1824) published six volumes between 1789 and 1807 documenting the murals and bronzes found in Heraculaneum and Pompeii.
