Green Parrot, c. 1820. Creator: Unknown
Green Parrot, c. 1820. Because of its ability to talk, the parrot often appears in Indo- Iranian tales as a messenger of moral wisdom. In the late 1700s and early 1800s, British merchants and civil servants of the East India Company commissioned paintings of native flora and fauna from Indian artists in European styles. This painting appears to depict a female Derbyan parakeet (Psittacula derbiana), also known as Lord Derbys parakeet

Green Parrot, c. 1820 - A Messenger of Wisdom
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a stunning piece of art known as the "Green Parrot" created by an unknown artist around 1820. The parrot, often revered in Indo-Iranian tales for its ability to speak and convey moral wisdom, takes center stage in this painting. During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, British merchants and civil servants from the East India Company sought to capture the beauty of native flora and fauna through commissioned paintings. Indian artists skillfully blended European styles with their own artistic traditions to create these exquisite works. In this particular artwork, it appears that a female Derbyan parakeet (Psittacula derbiana), also referred to as Lord Derby's parakeet, has been beautifully depicted. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this magnificent bird to life on paper. Preserved within the collection of The Cleveland Museum of Art, this opaque watercolor painting reflects the rich heritage of India's artistic legacy during the East India Company era. Although we may not know who specifically crafted this masterpiece, Heritage Art/Heritage Images has ensured its preservation for generations to come. As you gaze upon this enchanting image, allow yourself to be captivated by both its aesthetic allure and symbolic significance – a testament to how art can transcend time and culture.
