The figure in the picture was taken by me. The buildings were not from any particular source. I browsed some pictures from the ruins to get a general feel for the architecture & made my own using good old 1-point perspective. I also asked a few questions of ChaCha(424424) on the cell phone regarding things like doors & general architecture questions. (5 years and 3440 days ago)

Honourable Master

For the time being allow me to show you only an outline of the mural you assigned me to design for you, unfortunately at present only in black and white.
Though, pertaining to the actual mural, the one meant to decorate your new mansion, of-course the tiles to be used would be ones of vivid colors.
On the upper section of the image you can see Vesuvius shooting lava and ashes, while you, my Lord together with the most esteemed Lady, your wife, run for dear life onboard the boat also shown in the picture.
I trust you’d find it to your liking, while I wait for your final instructions.

By the bye, kindly be reminded that our workshop can boast of the most competitive prizes in town.
