A rare Derby figure of a young man

Circa 1760.
Wearing a green hat, pale-yellow flower sprigged jacket and red breeches painted with puce prunus sprays, standing holding a basket filled with flowers and a cherry in his outstretched right hand, before a tree stump on a mound base applied with flowers and leaves, 12.9cm high, patch marks (the plume of his hat replaced and tiny chips to the brim, minute chips to the finger tips of his right hand)
