I.9.5 Pompeii. March 2009. Room 5, cubiculum. East wall. Painting of Dionysus and maenad, or Ariadne.
See Bragantini, de Vos, Badoni, 1981. Pitture e Pavimenti di Pompei, Parte 1. Rome: ICCD. (p.95).
Kuivalainen describes -  
“A composition of two whitish figures on a light grey background. On the left, a female in yellowish robe reclines on a stepped platform, leaning on her right arm; in her left hand she holds a thyrsus; her head, adorned with a wreath of ivy, is depicted frontally. On the right stands a youth wearing only a yellow loincloth; he raises his right hand on top of his head, while the left hand holds a thyrsus with a ribbon, and possibly a pine cone at the bottom. The two thyrsi are depicted in parallel lines.”
Kuivalainen comments –
“It is not unusual for the standing young Bacchus to raise his right arm above his head, as in several other paintings. The reclining fully robed figure is most likely Ariadne.”
See Kuivalainen, I., 2021. The Portrayal of Pompeian Bacchus. Commentationes Humanarum Litterarum 140. Helsinki: Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters, (p.144-5, E5).

See Bragantini, de Vos, Badoni, 1981. Pitture e Pavimenti di Pompei, Parte 1. Rome: ICCD. (p.96).
Kuivalainen describes –
on the eastern side of the south wall, central zone, in a garden painting, painted marble relief (stylopinakion) – 
“A composition of two whitish figures on a bluish-grey background. In the foreground, a sleeping almost naked female figure callipyge with her back to the viewer; she is reclining and supporting herself with her left arm; she wears a whitish cloak, which covers her legs; she has a leafy wreath in her hair. On the right, a male figure steps energetically over the legs of the reclining figure; his curly long and floating hair is dark brown, adorned with a wreath; he carries a yellowish flaring cloak and a long pedum with long ribbons in his left arm; his right arm is outstretched, and he shakes the female figure by her right shoulder.”
Kuivalainen comments –
“The pose of the non-sleeping figure with the energetic step is similar to (E3) and (E4), the difference being in the various states of clothing, from fully robed to almost naked. His hair suits Bacchus well – thus young Bacchus discovering sleeping Ariadne.”
See Kuivalainen, I., 2021. The Portrayal of Pompeian Bacchus. Commentationes Humanarum Litterarum 140. Helsinki: Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters,  (p.145, E6).

“A composition of two whitish figures on a bluish-grey background. In the foreground, a sleeping almost naked female figure callipyge with her back to the viewer; she is reclining and supporting herself with her left arm; she wears a whitish cloak, which covers her legs; she has a leafy wreath in her hair. On the right, a male figure steps energetically over the legs of the reclining figure; his curly long and floating hair is dark brown, adorned with a wreath; he carries a yellowish flaring cloak and a long pedum with long ribbons in his left arm; his right arm is outstretched, and he shakes the female figure by her right shoulder.”

Kuivalainen comments –

“The pose of the non-sleeping figure with the energetic step is similar to (E3) and (E4), the difference being in the various states of clothing, from fully robed to almost naked. His hair suits Bacchus well – thus young Bacchus discovering sleeping Ariadne.”
