| The formal garden is laid out in all its splendour, with alleys, vistas, and a white-painted exedra. |
| Lounging on an exedra was a young woman in a woolen chiton, barefoot and trifling with the Greek ampyx that bound her golden hair. |
| The vignette that shows no walls around the city, is characterized by a semicircular road that goes round a church very similar to a colonnaded exedra. |
| Roman nymphaea became monumental pleasure houses, often in the shape of an exedra covered by a half dome. |
| The adjoining triclinium, entered by a door from the exedra, had also three paintings, one of which however is almost destroyed. |
| This nymphaeum and its exedra, placed on the longitudinal axis of the garden, is the real centre of the ensemble. |
