Still life vignettes were usually the central scenes of tondi floating in a solid background in the Fourth Pompeian Style of wall painting. Often, as here, the tondi featured foods that were hallmarks of the Campanian banquet such as fruit and fish local to the coastal area. For another Fourth Style wall painting featuring fish and shellfish, see no. 63 in C.C. Mattusch, ed., Pompeii and the Roman Villa.
