'Red and Blue Macaw', Henry Stacey Marks

A red parrot on a perch

Marks rose to prominence with historical scenes but became best known for his colourful paintings of birds. He had a knack of capturing their character and humour with uncanny accuracy.

The decorative quality of the composition, with its carefully positioned foliage reflects the contemporary fascination with Japanese art.
