Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a woman and a parrot in a room. The woman stands facing left; she wears a white top and a long green and red patterned skirt; she has a bindi on her forehead and bracelets on her wrists and upper arms. The woman's right arm is bent at the elbow and her hand points towards a parrot in a cage. The cage sits on a table with a blue bowl and two red candlesticks; the table sits on a brown tiled floor. A bed with a yellow cover and a blue and pink patterned bolster sits on the right. The walls are pink brick at the bottom, green tile at the top; a red patterned cloth hangs in the center. The image has a border of thin red and blue lines on a beige background. There is black calligraphy above the scene.
