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".
