"Portrait of the Jester Diego de Acedo" is a notable painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, who is widely regarded as one of the most important painters of the Spanish Golden Age. This work is one of several portraits of court jesters and dwarfs painted by Velázquez during his tenure as a court painter for King Philip IV of Spain. These figures were part of the court and were often the subject of Velázquez's humanizing and dignified portrayals, which stood in contrast to the more caricatured depictions common at the time.

The painting captures Diego de Acedo, also known as "El Primo," who was a dwarf and jester at the court. Acedo is depicted with a sense of individuality and introspection, seated with a large book on his lap, which suggests his literacy and intellect despite his role as a jester. The work is celebrated for its masterful technique, particularly in the rendering of textures and the play of light and shadow, which adds depth and realism to the figure.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, but it is believed to have been completed in the 1640s, during the period when Velázquez was producing some of his most acclaimed portraits. "Portrait of the Jester Diego de Acedo" is exemplary of Velázquez's skill in portraiture and his ability to convey the humanity of his subjects, regardless of their social status.

The painting is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important work within Velázquez's oeuvre. It contributes to the understanding of the social context of the Spanish court and the complex interplay between the artist, his subjects, and the broader cultural and societal norms of the 17th century. The portrait remains a subject of ongoing scholarly interest and is frequently included in discussions of Velázquez's approach to realism and his influence on the development of Western art.
