Description
View of stuccowork outside the gymnasium at the Stabian Baths at Pompeii, Italy. "The wall decoration of the court has been particularly well preserved on the outer wall ... The surface is diversified by fantastic architectural designs in two stories made up of slender columns with their entablatures, open doorways with steps leading up to them and glimpses of interiors ... Above the arched doorway Jupiter sits, resting his right hand on his scepter, nearby, on a pillar, is the eagle,"--Pompeii: Its Life and Art by August Mau.
