Portrait of the Jester Calabazas

What you see

Calabazas stands full-length in an almost empty space. He smiles and tilts his head. One raised hand holds a small object that is hard to make out; the other grips a long stick that slants down to the floor. On the left stands a folding stool with a leather seat, and behind him, the base of a column.

Nearly everything is grey and brown, and the black figure stands out sharply against the pale wall. Only the white collar, the reddish leather of the stool and a white paper at his waist break the restraint. Watch for the stool’s shadow on the floor and the relaxed stance of his feet.
