A rare Derby figure of an actor

A rare Derby figure of an actor, the young man standing, his right arm raised, his left hand on his hip, and wearing a plumed hat, flower painted waistcoat and puce breeches, the mound base applied with flowers and leaves, 6 3/4" high, circa 1758, no mark

See Peter Bradshaw, Derby Porcelain Figures, for a related figure of an older actor, in the white. The present model appears to be unrecorded by Bradshaw
