A well-dressed talent-show judge stands raising a blank scoring paddle overhead, as if awarding marks to a contestant. He wears a tailored three-piece suit with a striped tie, the picture of a polished panel judge or master of ceremonies.

The upright arm and confident stance make him an instant storytelling figure for a stage, audition or competition scene. The raised card can be left blank or hand-lettered with a score.

Well suited to a modern event or theatre diorama, a talent-show or game-show tableau, or a layout scene that needs a distinctive standing personality.
