Untitled and unnumbered plate with view of an excavation in a landscape. A ground of figures in the foreground at left examine a fragment. At center, a figure pushes a wheelbarrow down a path at center, towards excavated structures with visible wall paintings or friezes. This image appears below plate 54, "Centauresse jouant de la Lire et des Cimbales," which is based on a panel painting from Pompeii. These two images face page 87, which includes a section of text describing plate 54.
