Past Exhibition

Drawings from the Collection of the National Gallery of Art

The image displays swirling lines and exaggerated curved shapes to create an abstract composition. A central figure wearing a jester-like hat with bells rides a fantastical creature and holds drumsticks poised above drums emitting smoke-like swirls. An animal resembling a dog or feline stands next to a striped cat playing on the ground. The artwork blends elements of whimsy and fantasy in an abstract manner.

Jost Amman, The Jester, 1586, pen and black ink, Rosenwald Collection, 1952.8.31
