Cockatoo. Framed watercolor. 20th century. Watercolor depicting a cockatoo (possibly a sulfur cockatoo) perched on a stone ledge, picking up a cherry with one of its feet. The detail and composition are reminiscent of 19th-century engravings found in zoology textbooks (compare the work of Edward Lear, for example), although it is also worth mentioning Melchior d'Hondecoeter's painting "Collection of Animals" (circa 1960), which is held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
