The Page of Swords is based on Sir Jeffrey Hudson, a little person who found a place at French court and later had an even stranger life, going to war and being captured by pirates.
Image Description
A jester in a doublet and puffed pants with a cockatoo on his shoulder unsheathes a sword. The jester smiles slightly and looks to his right. He holds the sheath in his right hand and holds the sword with the blade straight up in his left hand. The cockatoo sits on his left shoulder. He has a green feather stuck in his short yellow hair. His outfit is mainly red, with flowers and multicolored stripes on his doublet. He wears tall blue boots with bells on the ends of their curled toes. A red and green banner with gold spots hangs behind him.
