Image: Woman with a Parrot (La Femme au perroquet), oil on canvas painting of 1866 by French artist Gustave Courbet (1819-1877), dimensions 129.5 cm x 195.6 cm (50.98” × 77.01”), located at Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. When this painting was shown in the Salon of 1866, critics lamented about Courbet's lack of taste and about his model's ungainly pose and disheveled hair. But the work was admired by his contemporary artists.
