Painted in 1888 by Ren Yi, this hanging scroll pairs a parrot with chrysanthemums, combining a bird prized for its bright plumage and mimicry with a flower long associated with autumn and scholarly virtue. The work reflects Ren Yi's mature style, characterized by looser brushwork and greater tonal variation than his earlier, more tightly outlined paintings. It is held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
