Two laughing jesters, One sitting on an inverted basket three-quarters to the right and with the head to the left, the other, with the head in the same direction, stands with his knees bent behind him with his hands on his shoulders, Both looks are going in the same direction. They have convex, smiling faces with open mouths, in which tongue and teeth are visible. The seated jester points with the right hand forward and holds a stick of bubbles (karwats with bubbles?) In front of the chest with the other. There is a wart on his cheek. He wears a fool's hood with a decorated hem at the neck, with bells on it, and a cloak with wide-flared sleeves over a dress with narrow sleeves, of which the judge hides a staff with a fool's head. The mantle covers his entire left leg, but leaves the right with trouser legs free. The latter has under their knee a decorated band with bells, is tied together at the ankles and falls over the boot. On the head of the standing figure a fool's hood with donkey ears, the broad collar of which, like the hood, has a decorated hem, bells hang on the collar and donkey ears. His wide cloak, held together by a decorated belt, falls open to the side, so that the trouser leg of the curved right leg can be seen. This is put in the boot and shows a knee patch in the shape of a mask, decorated with bubbles., Pieter Xaveri, Leiden, 1673, terracotta (clay material), h 46 cm × w 33.5 cm × d 26 cm
