White-faced pantomime figure (7)

I believe the answer is:

pierrot

(Other definitions for pierrot that I've seen before include "In French panto, clown with white face and baggy costume" , "Clown from French panto - tripe or what" , "French stage character with white face and costume" , "Clown from French pantomime with white face and costume - tripe or what?" , "Period; incantation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
