VI.2.4 Pompeii. September 2004. Looking east across portico of small garden. This was originally a three sided peristyle. It was destroyed by a huge bomb in September 1943. It was reconstructed in 1970-71 based on an 1824 plan by Mazois. It should be noted that  apart from the west side, the house was entirely destroyed by the bombing during the night of 14/15th September 1943.  According to Laidlaw, the roof, the south apartment, and the portico behind the main house block are almost completely modern reconstructions made in 1970-71. See Garcia y Garcia, L., 2006. Danni di guerra a Pompei. Rome: L’Erma di Bretschneider. (p. 66-74)

VI.2.4 Pompeii. May 2010. Looking south-west across small garden. Photo courtesy of Rick Bauer. According to Jashemski, the rooms on the south part of the house were added at a later date around a peristyle garden. There was a portico on the north and part of the east and west sides, supported by seven, eight-sided dark red columns with white capitals. There was a gutter on the east, north and west sides.
Mau reported a pool and fountain in the middle of the garden but bombing in September 1943 destroyed all evidence of these.
There was a cistern-opening near the north-west corner of the garden.
The triclinium on the west had a good view of the garden. See Jashemski, W. F., 1993. The Gardens of Pompeii, Volume II: Appendices. New York: Caratzas. (p.121)

VI.2.4 Pompeii.1890 painting from Niccolini of west wall between the diaeta and the triclinium.
Secondo Niccolini: PITTURA MURALE. Riproduciamo in questa tavola una importante parete a fondo nero scavata al principio del secolo. 
Di questo grazioso dipinto non resta a Pompei vestigio alcuno e ci è dato di poterlo riprodurre solo perchè conserviamo nei nostri cartoni la copia originale fatta da valente artista dell' epoca.
According to Niccolini: WALL PAINTING. We reproduce in this table an important black-ground wall excavated at the start of the century. 
Of this graceful painting no vestige remains in Pompeii and we can reproduce it only because we preserve our cartons the original copy made by the valiant artist of that era.

VI.2.4 Pompeii. c.1877. Black peristyle wall decoration.
According to Presuhn & Steeger reproducing a small piece situated to the left, in front of the small bedroom. 
See Steeger V., 1877. Le più belle pareti di Pompei. Torino: Loescher. Fasc. I, Tav. V.
Kuivalainen shows a drawing by Reinach (122, 12 (RP 1922), which looks very similar to the figures in the panel above, and which he describes as –
“A composition of two figures against a black background. A standing floating figure adorned with a pine wreath wears a cloak or a nebris over his right shoulder falling to his left hip; he holds a bunch of grapes in his raised right hand, and carries an infant in his left arm and cupped hand.
The infant with wings tries to reach the grapes.”
The drawing by Reinach is described as being from the north wall of the peristyle, next to the small garden in the south side of the house.

“This room (Diaeta 34) was badly damaged by the bomb; when the debris was cleared at the end of the war, the left (East) and entrance (North) walls were partly rebuilt, and the room reroofed. The pavement in opus sectile, which the blast had shattered, was restored approximately in the pattern of the original, with the missing parts filled in with cement or stray pieces found in the debris.”
