Striped Silk Caraco, French, 1795
From Kerry Taylor Auctions
This is a pretty 18th century fashion plate, but I wonder if the artist has confused their exotic birds.
That's clearly supposed to be a parrot, but it bears a distinct family resemblance to a turkey, between that neck and the hint of a wattle.
Both parrots and turkeys were status symbols in Europe at the time, a sign of wealth and exotic foreign connections.
ALT text: 1780-1785 fashion plate number 23 from the French publication "Galerie des Modes et Costumes Français”. A woman in powdered hair and curls wears a bright orange jacket edged with transparent white frills and turquoise blue ribbon, over a skirt to match. She stands next to a sort of a wooden coat-rack of bird perches set into a manger or tray and with a bowl at the top, snuggling up to a very odd-looking bird. It is clearly intended to be a parrot, but seems rather overlarge with a more turkey-like neck than the sleek look of a parrot, and its coloration suggests a turkey’s wattle more than a parrot’s plumage.

«Ésta es la única certeza: la muerte es, en una palabra, el sentido de toda cosa y el hombre es una cosa frente a la muerte, los pueblos lo serán de igual forma, la Historia es una pasión y sus víctimas legión, el mundo, que nosotros habitamos, es el Infierno moderado por la nada, donde el hombre, negándose a conocerse, prefiere inmolarse, inmolarse como las especies animales demasiado numerosas, inmolarse como los enjambres de langostas y como los ejércitos de ratas, imaginándose que es más sublime morir, morir innumerable, que reconsiderar finalmente el mundo que habita.»
