# Green Parrot, in Unrecorded makers of India

An unrecorded India, East India Company School artist painted this in about 1820. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> Made by an Indian artist for a British civil servant working in Calcutta (now Kolkata), this bird is portrayed with precision and brilliant color. It appears to be of the same type as Tuti, the protagonist of the early Mughal Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot) manuscript.
