at its finest

[jexrry_nam]

Dear all,

What does 'at its finest' mean?

For example:

'He's performing at his finest.'

He's doing extremely well.

Could anyone help me?

Thanks

'He's performing at his finest.

It means he's performing at the finest level that he's capable of.

(It's more usual to hear "at his finest" or "at its finest" used with a name of a person or a thing.)

 

[perpend]

at its peak (to my understanding)

Sorry, I didn't realise you were asking about the meaning of "at its finest". I thought you were asking about your example sentence.

I agree with perpend. At its finest = at its peak.
