Item Details

Description

A rare Derby figure of an Actor, circa 1758
The young man adopting a classic pose with one hand on his hip and the other outstretched, wearing a puce tricorn hat, white cloak, flower-painted shirt and puce breeches, by a stump on a white mound base applied with flowers, 16.8cm high
Footnotes:
This model appears to have been based on a figure of a dancer but was adapted to give the subject a theatrical pose. A related figure in the white, but clearly modelled as an older actor, is illustrated by Peter Bradshaw, Derby Porcelain Figures (1990), p.36, no.B10.
