Delve into the refined elegance of the late 18th century with our meticulously crafted "A Gentleman Listens" figurine. This piece captures a genteel figure of the era, attired in the height of fashion from 1770 to 1785. The gentleman sports a tricorn hat styled with vertically positioned leaves—a popular trend of the time. His attire includes a tailored coat and vest that closely fit the fashion-forward silhouette of the period.

The figure's long hair, typical of the era, cascades in curls around his ears, gathered at the nape in a neatly tied silk bag. This portrayal hints at the upper echelons of society, where a man might choose to wear a wig for public appearances. Poised with one hand on the back of a Chippendale-style side chair, the gentleman appears absorbed, his attention perhaps captured by a stirring piece of poetry, the lively chords of a pianoforte, or the stirring tides of political discourse.

This figurine is not just a toy but a portal to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the daily life and sartorial splendor of historical figures.
