''Interior with a Child Feeding a Parrot'' (c. 1668-1672) is an oil on canvas painting by the Dutch painter Pieter de Hooch. It is an example of Dutch Golden Age painting and is now in a private collection. This painting was documented by Hofstede de Groot in 1908, who wrote; "113. THE FAVOURITE PARROT. Sm. Suppl. 6 ; deG. 50.〔(Comparative table ) of catalog entries between John Smith's first Catalogue raisonné of Hooch and Hofstede de Groot's first list of Hooch paintings published in Oud Holland〕 In the left-hand corner of a room stands a table with an Eastern carpet and a white cloth. Upon it are cheese, fruit, plates, and other objects. A young man with a slouch hat sits behind the table, drinking a glass of wine. Behind him is a chimney-piece ; upon it stands some Chinese porcelain, and above it hangs a picture of a nude woman recumbent. In the right foreground there are bottles and glasses on a little table, and a silver dish on the floor. At a half-opened window to the left stands a young woman, in a red jacket trimmed with ermine, feeding a parrot, which looks out of its cage-door. The woman scratches the parrot's head with her left hand, and with her right soaks a crust in a wine-glass which a girl, standing more to the right behind the table, holds across to her. With her left hand this girl supports a little child who stands on a chair, watching the parrot being fed. A dog jumps up to the chair. By the window is a bird-cage ; behind the parrot there is another picture on the wall. The colouring is cool and clear in tone. Canvas, 31 inches by 27 inches. Mentioned by Waagen (Supplement, p. 99) ; by Ch. Blanc, ''Tresor de la Curiosite'', ii. 433-4.; and by Havard. Sale. Casimir Perier, Paris, April 18, 1838. In the collection of the Duc de Berri ; brought to England in 1840 by Hume. Now in the collection of the Earl of Northbrook, in London."〔(entry 113 for The Favorite Parrot ) in Hofstede de Groot, 1908〕 The child is wearing a ''valhoed'', or falling cap, and the same child with falling cap can be seen in Hooch's ''Teaching a Child to Walk'', while the interior itself was used for another scene with the same child pulling impatiently on the skirt of a maidservant: File:Pieter de Hooch - Teaching a Child to Walk.jpg|''Teaching a Child to Walk'' File:Pieter de Hooch - Interior of a kitchen with a woman, a child and a maid.jpg|''Interior of a kitchen with a woman, a child and a maid'' File:Pieter de Hooch - Woman hands over money to her servant - 1670.jpg|''Woman giving Money to a Servant-Girl'' This painting was sold by Sotheby's in 2012 for $3,666,500.〔(Lot 56 ) record on Sotheby's website〕 == References == *(Interieur met drinkende man en twee vrouwen met een kind die een papgaai voeren, ca. 1668-1672 Sotheby's (New York City) 2012-01-26, nr. 56 ) in the RKD 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Interior with a Child Feeding a Parrot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
