Giacinto Capelli's "Pa. German Parrot" is a watercolor painting created in 1939. It depicts a brightly colored, stylized parrot, possibly a Pennsylvania Dutch folk art object, against a simple, off-white background. The bird's plumage is painted in bold hues of red, yellow, and green, creating a striking visual contrast. The painting is a masterful example of Capelli's skillful depiction of both realism and folk art traditions.
