About this work

This portrait depicts a woman with curly brown hair, wearing a dark dress and a white scarf. A green parrot with a red patch on its wing and an orange crown sits on her right shoulder. The background is dark, which contrasts with the woman's lighter clothing. The woman's attire suggests she may have been from a higher social class, given the quality of her clothing. The parrot could symbolize exoticism or wealth, as parrots were often kept as pets by the wealthy during this time period.
