Edward Jewett

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a detailed architectural design for a baptismal font table. The image shows a decorative table with a round emblem at its center, surrounded by measurements and annotations. The table has an ornate, curving design with a highlighted feature in the middle. The table's surface and body are colored in soft hues of peach, beige, and light brown, resting on a rectangular base. Specific measurements are indicated along with annotations, showing precision in design. The inscription at the top provides historical context, stating "Original Baptism-font Table: San Buenaventura 1809, still in use as a table in Baptistry - 1936."
