Summary
Ink and colour wash drawing of two blue and yellow vases by William Bankes. No watermark.
Marks and inscriptions
The subject borrowed from Tintoretto make it probable that these vases wre manufactured in the Venetian states and the crowned eagles on the top leads me to suspect that they belonged to the Guestiniani () Family (footnote in pencil in William Bankes' hand)
