Drawing of a urn-shaped bronze vase that was kept by Horace Walpole in the Tribune at Strawberry Hill. On the side of the vase is a scene in bas-relief, taken from an antique by Fiammingo, of five naked boys surrounding a long-haired calf(?). The vase was formerly part of the Harleian collection

Title written in pencil below image.
Unsigned; attribution to G.P. Harding from local catalog card.
Date based on death date of Thomas Kirgate, who likely assembled the extra-illustrated volume in which this drawing is found.
Possibly a preparatory sketch for a finished piece. Marginal notes in pencil indicate that there should be "4 ring[s]" in the coiled handles and that the right side of the drawing should be the "shade side"; a note within the vase's shadow indicates "shade".
