The Jester
Unframed The Jester art print
$25.00
The Jester watercolour and pen & ink print captures a mischievous moment of a faceless funny man. His lonely evening saunter is clumsy. He is off duty for jesting but still draws a smirk out of viewers with his awkward pose. 5"x7.5" or 7"x10" unframed.
The Jester was part of a random thought about the irony of comedy. In an unpredictable world that tends to beat us up, jesters were called upon to make the king and his court laugh. The stark juxtaposition of the laughing clown whose face is often sad underneath his mask gets to the heart of this piece. Off-duty, the jester imbibes, numbing the pressure of exchanging everyone's sadness for his fabricated joy.
