This scetch is a gift for *VampiraLady who solved the quiz I put in the artist´s comment of [link] first.

She asked for a scetch of Cacofonix (or Troubadix, as we know him in Germany).
I decided to use a painting of swedish artist Ernst Josephson (1851-1906) as reference.
I chose the painting because the second person in it is listening to the musician in resignation with a certain facepalm-gesture
Remember the adventure where Cacofonix is actually ALLOWED to sing?
EDIT
~Optio-Centuriae solved the quiz. I asked for both the Asterix-adventure were Cacofonix IS allowed to sing which is "Asterix and the Magic Carpet"/"Astérix chez Rahàzade"/"Asterix im Morgenland" ([link] ) AND the title of the reference picture which is "David and Saul" ([link] ). Look closely at King Saul´s facepalm

Other potential references were these:

And these two that would´ve shown Cacofonix in his role as the village´s teacher, as he is presented in "Asterix and Maestria" ("Asterix and the Secret Weapon" in English, "La Rose et le Glaive" in French):

EDIT
I almost forgot: I changed the jug David carries with him in the original picture into a vessel of the Late Latène-period (ca. 150-25 B.C.), at the end of which Asterix and his friends "lived".

Cacofonix and Rajah Wotzit/Radscha Nihamavasah/rajah Cékouhaçà are (c) to Albert Uderzo and René Groscinny.
The reference is (c) to Ernst Josephson.
