The jester depicted here embodies both mockery and derision as he belittles those around him through his foolery. With every stroke of his brush, Stettler captures not only the physical appearance but also the essence of this mischievous character. Originating from Switzerland, Stettler was a renowned Swiss artist who excelled in capturing human virtues and vices through his works of art.
