Three Dancing Mummers, Including a Jester

Attributed to Zacharias Dolendo after Jacques de Gheyn II

National Gallery of Art

The image includes three fantastical figures in dramatic poses. They have heavily stylized faces with exaggerated features and wear jester-like attire with bells. The central figure is shirtless with accessories on his hips, while the others wear decorative garments. Bells adorn their footwear. The background is plain with a textured, shadowed surface beneath them.
