Baptismal Font - Church of the Good Shepherd, Hartford, CT

The Church of the Good Shepherd was commissioned by Elizabeth Hart Jarvis Colt in memory of her husband, Samuel Colt, and their three children who passed away in early childhood.

A striking feature inside the church is the baptismal font. This sculpture is dedicated to the three Colt children who passed away. The font was commissioned for the Church by Elizabeth’s sister, Hetty, and depicts the cherub-like children on a pedestal. They are supporting a large shell basin in their arms for baptisms.
