The painting is called Perroquet Rouge, made by Georg Dionysus Ehret around 1744. It was part of a big project to draw pretty garden plants. The project was led by a German doctor and botanist named Dr Christoph Jakob Trew. He wanted to show the beauty of flowers. You can learn more about this style by looking into the Baroque movement.
