photo of the painting in gold frame "Three birds are shown against the ruins of a gothic building: a scarlet macaw, a white Moluccan cockatoo and, behind, a green ring-necked parakeet. The birds' rich colours and their pyramidal arrangement in the painting create a dramatic composition. This is the finest identified painting by the enigmatic artist Edward Henry Murphy. He trained in Dublin and exhibited paintings of still lifes, birds, and animals at the Royal Hibernian Academy from 1826-41." info via National Gallery of Ireland http://onlinecollection.nationalgallery.ie/objects/3063/paroquets image via Wikimedia Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edward_henry_murphy,_pappagalli,_1830_ca.jpg
