This watercolor drawing by William Kieckhofel, created around 1939, depicts a baptismal font and stand. The font, a large, round bowl, is perched atop a multi-tiered stand. The stand is richly decorated with intricate details, including stylized leaves and a pattern of dots and stripes in red, blue, and yellow. This artwork, likely a design for a real-life baptismal font, showcases Kieckhofel's talent for capturing the beauty of religious artifacts in a detailed and evocative manner.
