Red Parrot on the Branch of a Tree c. 1905

"Red Parrot on the Branch of a Tree" is a woodblock print by famed Japanese artist Ito Jakuchu. Created around 1905, the print depicts a vibrantly colored parrot perched on a bare branch, its red and blue plumage standing out against the dark background. The composition is balanced, with the parrot positioned centrally, while the branches and leaves, rendered with meticulous detail, frame the scene. The print is a fine example of Jakuchu's meticulous style, characterized by his detailed observation of nature and his use of bold colors.
