The Parrot Addresses Khujasta at the Beginning of the Eighth Night, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot)

Cleveland Museum of Art

A man with dark hair wearing an orange short-sleeved tunic, white tights, and red shoes stands on grass looking at a birdcage hanging from a structure with a roof. The birdcage is rectangular and made of yellow and red metal bars with a green base. The structure has a red base with blue and gold fabric draped over it. A tree with white flowers and a green cactus are on the right next to the man. A domed white roof with blue and gold trim is on the left. The background contains a purple sky with two trees in the distance. Black text in a foreign language is written at the top.
