Clown with Trumpet

The figure runs tall and vertical: head tipped back, both white-gloved hands on the trumpet, the bell angling up and to the right. His long black coat is painted in bold white spots, and a patterned floral cravat spills from under the lapel. The face carries full clown make-up — white ground, blue lozenges at the eyes, a red nose, ginger curls under a small red top hat. A red flower lies on the pale base, echoing the buttonhole on his chest.
