Touchstone, The Jester

A figure in a dark green hood and yellow tunic sits sideways on a wooden stool, legs in bright red hose and red shoes, one hand resting on the stool's back. The loose, textured brushwork and murky green background give the scene a moody, sketch-like quality.

Español: Touchstone, el bufón, sentado con capucha verde y túnica amarilla

Una figura con capucha verde oscuro y túnica amarilla se sienta de lado sobre un taburete de madera, con las piernas cubiertas por medias rojas brillantes y zapatos rojos, y una mano apoyada en el respaldo del taburete. Las pinceladas sueltas y el fondo verde oscuro dan a la escena un aire sombrío y de boceto.

Português: Touchstone, o bobo, sentado com capuz verde e túnica amarela

Uma figura com capuz verde-escuro e túnica amarela senta-se de lado sobre um banquinho de madeira, com as pernas em meias vermelhas vivas e sapatos vermelhos, e uma das mãos apoiada no encosto do banquinho. As pinceladas soltas e o fundo verde escuro dão à cena um aspecto sombrio, de esboço.
