According to Jashemski, this house was part of an old garden enclosed by a portico, together with a few rooms.

After the earthquake, the little house was formed from the ruins of a former house.

According to PPM, these paintings were all found in the same room, probably one of the rooms around the peristyle area (see also VII.9.63).

VII.9.63 Pompeii. 1840 drawing of Venus Pescatrice.

According to Breton, this house (linked with VII.9.60) was known as “of the fisherwoman” because of its painting of Venus fishing.

It was discovered between 1822 and 1823.

At the rear in a small room, one could see three paintings – Europa on the bull, Narcissus, and Venus fishing.

There were only a few traces remaining of Venus, from the wall, on the right.
