The Jester Barbarroja (El bufón Barbarroja) is an oil on canvas portrait by Diego Velázquez of Cristóbal de Castañeda y Pernia, nicknamed Barbarroja in his role as a jester at the court of Philip IV of Spain from 1633 to 1649. The painting is now in the Museo del Prado.
Goya has accurately copied Velázquez's painting. In the print the figure stands out for its clarity against the dark background. He faithfully captures the fiery expression on the face and the angry look that characterize the character. Although it is true that in this engraving Goya boasts greater skill than others in the same series, it is necessary to underline that Velázquez's canvas is, due to its greater simplicity compared to other of his paintings, easier to pass on to a metal plate. The folds of the clothes are simple and large and there is no reference in the background except the shadow of the character.
