"A Jester Holding a Flute" is a 1623 oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Peter Wtewael, son of the more famous painter Joachim Wtewael. This artwork is a fine example of the Northern Mannerist style, which was characterized by its complex compositions, vivid colors, and intricate details. The painting depicts a jester, a common figure in 17th-century Dutch art, known for their role as entertainers in the courts of European royalty and nobility.

In this portrait, the jester is captured in a moment of leisure, holding a flute, an instrument often associated with pastoral and idyllic scenes in art. The jester's attire is typical of the period, with a vibrantly colored and patterned costume that reflects his profession's need to attract attention and entertain. His expression is one of engagement, perhaps suggesting a pause in his performance or an invitation to the viewer to enjoy the music.

Peter Wtewael's work is less well-known than that of his father, but "A Jester Holding a Flute" is considered an important piece within his oeuvre, showcasing his skill in portraiture and his ability to capture the character and mood of his subjects. The painting is also significant for its insight into the cultural and social history of the time, providing a glimpse into the role of jesters and the entertainment practices of the Dutch Golden Age.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been studied by art historians interested in the period and the Wtewael family's contribution to Dutch art. "A Jester Holding a Flute" continues to be an object of interest for scholars and enthusiasts of Northern Mannerism and the Dutch Golden Age, offering a window into the era's artistic traditions and the nuanced performances of court jesters.
