According to Fiorelli, “re-entering the atrium (from the east ala) on the red plaster of the pilaster that separates the entrances to the ala and to the triclinium, we see a female flying figure”.
See Notizie degli Scavi di Antichità, 1877, (p.249)
According to Mau, on the east side of the atrium between the ala and the triclinium, over the support for the money chest was a female figure 0.34 high, it was a very pretty picture, showing the figure flying to the left with a view of the middle of her back but with her face turned to the viewer. The fluttering green robe covering only her legs was supported by her right arm, her shoes were green, her head covered in a cloth, in her right hand was a sickle and in her left hand some ears of corn.
You may feel for sure that there would have been similar personifications of autumn and winter.

She had a lamb on her shoulders and held fresh cheese in a basket.
This would have been seen on the pilaster between rooms f and e.

According to Fiorelli, on the red plaster of the pilaster that was between this cubiculum and the preceding ala, was painted a pretty female figure crowned with leaves and wearing a green robe and yellow mantle, carrying on her shoulder a lamb, and holding a basket in her right hand.
See Notizie degli Scavi di Antichità, 1877,
(p.250)
According to Mau, 0.34 high, it was a painting showing Spring, turning her face half to the right and half towards the viewer. She was crowned with some long and narrow leaves and yellow and white flowers, dressed in a double green robe that left her right shoulder bare and her left arm wrapped in a fluttering robe in the guise of a shawl, on her feet were white shoes. A lamb was supported on the nape of her neck and in the right hand, she held a green basket with a white lump (ricotta).
