Shaveing the zot, Johann Theodor de Bry, 1596 Canvas Print
In a room , on the left in front of the fire, sits a woman on the lap of a man who hugs her. In one hand she holds a glass of wine, the other she sticks in his purse. The hostess keeps track of the notch stick. In the foreground, a man, who is referred to by his narrestaf as crazy or crazy, is shaved by a barber. "Shaving the fool" was in the 16th century a common ritual at jester's feasts: the shaving of criminals, vagabonds and lunatics, so that they were recognizable as such.
