Description:This figure has a painted papier-mache head, and wears its original clothes. The silk coat and trousers are now in poor condition, with the silk fibres shredding and breaking away. The figure holds a glass and decanter. When the lever in the base is pushed down, the man lifts the glass to his mouth and moves his head.
