A marble bust gazes silently from between two towering pilasters as the ruined atrium of the House of Cornelius Rufus opens before the viewer — twin carved herm-supports standing sentinel over an impluvium long dry, with Mount Vesuvius brooding distantly through the peristyle columns beyond. This aristocratic Pompeian domus, named for its presumed owner, preserves remarkable decorative stonework and herms that give the house an almost theatrical gravitas. Published by Carlo Cotini of Naples (No. 25), the card is unused, with a clean divided back, and a companion detail image provides a closer view of the bust and pilaster decoration — a rare two-view representation of the same subject.
