Woman with a Parrot is a 1872 oil by Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta, a Impressionism work, held at Clark Art Institute.
This painting shows a woman sitting on a cushion, playing a guitar. She wears a yellow dress and has a white parrot perched on a stand beside her. The woman's dress is adorned with intricate details, and the parrot appears to be looking at her. The room is dimly lit, with a warm glow emanating from an unseen source. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality. For more information on this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta (24 July 1841 – 15 September 1920) was a Spanish painter from the Madrazo family of artists who worked in the Realistic style, although his later work shows signs of Rococo and Japanese influence.
