Lot Essay

A lady chases a small cat with a green parrot in its mouth, holding a stick in her right hand and the parrot's empty cage behind her. The scene is derived from poetry, the parrot symbolizing the woman's lover and the cat symbolizing her rival. A Kangra painting of the same subject is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum (acc. no. IS.140-1955).
