# A Young Lady with a Parrot, in The Italian Settecento

Rosalba Carriera painted this in about 1730, aged about 52. It is now at the Art Institute of Chicago.

From the museum's label:

> Rosalba Carriera, or simply Rosalba, as she was known, was a shrewd judge of character; she enhanced but never obscured the appearance of her sitters. This pastel may depict a young Englishwoman, perhaps one of the daughters of Lord Manchester.
