Bull Terrier Stańczyk — after Jan Matejko, 1862 | Canvas

Stańczyk
after Jan Matejko, 1862

The court jester sits alone, having just read that Smolensk has fallen. Behind him the ball carries on. Matejko gave the jester his own face.

He is the only one in the room who has understood the letter.

After the original in the National Museum, Warsaw.
