Woman with parrot

The painting titled Woman with parrot is a striking example of Expressionism, capturing intense emotion and bold colors. The portrait style emphasizes the woman's expressive face and the vibrant, detailed depiction of the parrot perched beside her. This work is part of the Gurlitt Collection, a controversial assemblage of around 1,500 artworks inherited by Cornelius Gurlitt, son of Hitler's official art dealer. Some pieces in the collection, including this one, have complex histories, with allegations of looting from Jewish victims by the Nazis.
