About the piece

Painted in 1829 by Katharina Freiin von Röthlein, this masterful still life captures a rich array of textures and subjects. At the center, a green parakeet perches beside a glass bowl filled with goldfish, surrounded by a lush arrangement of roses, lilacs, and tropical blooms spilling from a wicker basket. The composition is further enlivened by a butterfly in flight and a small lizard resting on the stone ledge.
