Leeuwarden mural

I found this mural of a jester on a building in the Ipe Brouwerssteeg in the centre of Leeuwarden.

A jester, court jester, or fool was historically an entertainer. In medieval times jesters entertained in a wide variety of skills: principal ones included songs, music, and storytelling; additional ones included acrobatics, juggling, telling jokes, and magic. (from Wikipedia)

The mural wasn't signed and unfortunately I haven't been able to trace who made it. I like it a lot though!

It's my contribution today to Monday Mural.

    Een verrassende mural die je niet zo gauw daar zou verwachten. Ben benieuwd naar de achtergrond ervan.

    The Jester fits in with the scene. Much better than the graffiti and the tagging.

    Always fun to find a Joker. He must be modern as he is wearing a wrist watch.

    Love the expression on the jester's face. And what a prime, dramatic position on the corner of the wall.

    I like the way he's observing the pedestrians, just waiting for them to look up and spot him. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
