A theatrical master of ceremonies caught mid-flourish, bowing forward with one hand extended to present a fanned set of cards to an unseen audience. He wears a dandyish blue tailcoat with gilt piping over a deep red waistcoat, a wing collar and bow tie, pinstriped trousers and a jaunty top hat, his waxed moustache adding to the showman air.

The exaggerated bowing pose and flashy stage costume give the figure a lively vaudeville or burlesque-host character, full of theatrical personality on a small wood-topped base.

A charming figure for a theater, cabaret or circus diorama, a period entertainment scene, or a model-railroad town with a music hall. Adds instant showbiz flair to a stage vignette.
