Just sharing this painting from our collection today for no particular reason at all...😉

By the Irish artist Edward Henry Murphy, the three birds featured are a scarlet macaw, a white Moluccan cockatoo and a green ring-necked parakeet. You can see it hanging in Room 46 on our third floor on your next visit.

✂️🖍️If you'd like to create your own version of this at home with any children whose might need to settle their nerves before tonight, we have a guided video you can watch here: https://www.nationalgallery.ie/what-we-do/our-organisation/collections-research/education-department/national-gallery-home-0
