minstrel

Revised Prompt

A medieval minstrel wearing ornate clothing and holding a lute, standing in a rustic tavern, in the style of Alan Lee, with intricate details reminiscent of Brian Froud's fantastical illustrations, and the warm, earthy tones of Kinuko Craft's artwork.

A minstrel was an entertainer, initially in medieval Europe. The term originally described any type of entertainer such as a musician, juggler, acrobat, singer or fool; later, from the sixteenth century, it came to mean a specialist entertainer who sang songs and played musical instruments.
