Roman Fresco Wall Plaster Collection
1st century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £33
Fragments of wall plaster with rendered surface painted red with brown detailing to the edge; some with impression of timber laths to the reverse. 845 grams total, 39-94 mm
Acquired in the 19th century. Ex Jeger collection, Switzerland. UK gallery, early 2000s.
These small fragments, for analogies with the fragments of Pompeii, seems to belong to the second style of Roman painting, red panels representing highlight and shadow, decorated with vegetal interlaces. Some panels were probably framed by a red grenade fillet. A fragment shows alternate blue and red colour over a cream background, maybe pertinent to a socle. -
