This image of a jester looks very much like the clown character of Punch from Punch and Judy. The jester, a clown and jokester, was a member of a nobleman’s household, employed to entertain guests at court. Jesters were also traveling performers who entertained common folk at fairs and town markets. They performed a wide variety of skills, including singing, storytelling, acrobatics, juggling, telling jokes, and performing magic tricks. Much of the entertainment was performed in a comic style, and jesters often made contemporary jokes in word or song about people or events well known to their audiences. The Jesters' brightly colored clothes and eccentric hats have influenced costumes worn by more modern clowns.
