VII.9.1 Pompeii. c.1820. Drawing by Gell of the Broad Niche 13 and statue of Eumachia. Gell wrote – “In the centre of this innermost Crypt, which is there fifteen feet eight inches wide, exactly behind the semi-circular tribunal and close to the staircase before mentioned as ascending from the Via dei Mercanti, is a recess painted in green and red panels, in the centre of which is the statue of Eumachia, the public priestess, and the foundress of the Chalcidicum, the Crypt, and the Portico, not ungracefully executed in white marble. She is represented about five feet four inches in height, and stands on a pedestal about three feet from the pavement, on which is inscribed – EUMACHIAE L F SACERD PUBL FULLONES. Plate IX (above) gives a representation of the recess and statue as they were first discovered in the year 1820. The figure has been carefully preserved by a modern roof, and still remains in a case on the spot. The door which is seen painted on the wall in this plate seems to have been intended to correspond with the door of the staircase opening to the Via dei Mercanti. It is worthy of remark because no real doors remain. It is six feet wide, and ten and a half high, and is separated into three folds, with eight lines of division painted between each. A ring in the centre served to close it. See Gell, W, 1832. Pompeiana: Vol 1. London: Jennings and Chaplin, (p.20-22, and Plate IX)
