Bulletin de la Société de l'Histoire de l'Art Français, année 1981, (1983), pp. 271, 273 n. 21, believes that it was probably Henri, and not his brother Albert, who bought this picture at the Hoschedé sale in 1878; refutes that Durand-Ruel sold it through J. Alden Weir to Erwin Davis in 1881, suggesting that it was included in the Manet retrospective of 1884 as no. 39, "Une jeune femme," Salon de 1868, as in the collection of Gérard.

(overall and x-radiograph), discusses the picture's "battle scars" visible in the x-radiograph, including the multiple times Manet scraped out the head to arrive at one with which he was content; notes that his final changes to the painting may postdate Monet's (1867) and Gautier's (1868) criticisms of it.

Peter Hecht. "Manet et les Hollandais, ou la tradition du 'contemporain'."

XVIII, reproduces the 1883 exhibition catalogue; discusses the "show-stopper" status of this picture and Manet's "Boy with a Sword" (MMA 89.21.2) due to preferential hanging in the place of honor, the south wall of the paintings gallery, which they shared with Degas at the exhibition of 1883.

Kathleen Adler. Manet. Oxford, 1986, pp. 87–88, 92, 101, 230 nn. 12 and 13, colorpl. 76, remarks that the fruit in this picture is the shape and size of an orange, but the color of a lemon, and that it appears to be a "citron," which were grown in orangeries in the nineteenth century "and so, particularly appropriate in connection with the exoticism of the parrot"; notes that radiography has revealed that Manet repainted the head extensively, "perhaps in response to criticism it received at the Salon".

James Fairhead. "Victorine Meurent: New Evidence from America and Paris." Burlington Magazine 165 (August 2023), pp. 817, 823, 826, fig. 2 (color), provides new biographical information about Victorine Meurent as a cancan dancer; states that Manet apparently posed Victorine as the commedia dell'arte character Columbine in The Met's picture, noting both the similarity of Victorine's pose to that she holds in his "The Street Singer" (1862, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) and that Victorine had likely performed in a pantomime directed by Manet's friend Champfleury as Columbine the year before.

Victorine Meurent (1844–1927) posed for this picture in 1866, the same year as Courbet exhibited his Woman with a Parrot (The Met 29.100.57) at the Salon. When Manet exhibited this painting at the Salon of 1868, it was seen as a response to the Courbet.
