The name Master of the Parrot was coined by Max Friedländer (Cf. Der Meister mit dem Papagei Phoebus, 1949, II, pp. 49-54) to identify a group of stylistically related works, many of which feature a parrot. The anonymous Master probably worked in Antwerp, where he was in close contact with Pieter Coecke van Aelst and the so-called Master of the Female Half-Figures, whose production manifests undoubted links and dependencies (See E. Konowitz, The Master of the Female Half-Lengths group, eclecticism and novelty, Oud Holland 113, 1999, pp. 1-12). The panel presented here finds interesting points of comparison with the one attributed by Max Friedlander formerly at the Fischer Gallery in Lucerne (fig. 1; Cf. https://rkd.nl/imageslite/311634).
