The Captive Bird is a 1726 oil by Nicolas Lancret, a Rococo painting work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
This painting shows a man and a woman in a forest clearing. The man is sitting on the ground, looking up at the woman. He's wearing a hat, a striped jacket, and a white shirt with billowy sleeves. The woman is standing, holding a birdcage. She's wearing a yellow dress with a white apron and a hat. The scene is set in a forest, with trees and bushes in the background. The colors are muted, with shades of green, brown, and yellow dominating the palette. The woman's dress and the man's jacket suggest a sense of elegance and refinement, despite the rustic setting.
