The image shows a black and white photograph of a sculpture titled "Parrot" by Wilhelm Schimmel. The sculpture is of a bird with its body facing right and its head turned upward. The bird has a long neck and a large beak. Its body is covered in feathers, and it has two legs with three toes each. The sculpture appears to be made of dark-colored stone or metal and has a weathered appearance. A small ruler is placed in front of the sculpture for scale. The background of the image is a plain gray color. A small white rectangle at the bottom reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 1924".
