The animalier Charles Artus first exhibited this model at the Société des Artistes Décorateurs in 1932, which suggests his openness to the decorative value of his work. The troupial is a species of oriole native to Central and South America. The Met purchased this example from Galerie Edgar Brandt in 1932.
