What is this painting called?

I only saw it once, but I was intrigued by it. It's a painting of a man dressed as a fool/jester/harlequin sitting on a table and everyone around him is either drunk, asleep, or maybe dead. Can anyone tell me the name of this painting and the artist? Many thanks in advance.

"The Jester" by Frans Hals? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frans_Hals Scroll down on the Wiki page to see "The Jester with Lute." I remembered this from grade school and I copied it for an art class.

The Hals, while lovely, doesn't fit the poster's description.
