Woman with a Parrot 1866

Edouard Manet's "Woman with a Parrot" (1866) is a striking portrayal of a young woman in a flowing white dress, standing against a dark background. The woman's relaxed posture and the presence of a parrot on a stand suggest an intimate domestic scene. Manet, a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement, employs a realist style in this work, capturing the naturalism of the subject and the details of her surroundings. The painting is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and stands at 185.1 x 128 cm.
