This painting shows a bright red parrot perched on a tree branch, surrounded by smaller birds in flight. To the right, a tall vase holds a mix of flowers—red tulips, pink roses, and white blossoms—while a bowl of apples and pears sits on the ground. In the background, a hazy landscape with a building and distant trees fades into a pale sky. The vase has a carved face on its side, adding a touch of mystery. The artist used soft lighting to make the flowers and birds stand out against the muted background. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see this painting in person.
