"Five-Coloured Parakeet on a Blossoming Apricot Tree" is a renowned Chinese painting attributed to Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, who reigned from 1100 to 1126. As a significant figure in Chinese history, Huizong was not only a ruler but also a notable artist, calligrapher, and patron of the arts. His reign is often remembered for the cultural flourishing that took place, particularly the development of the so-called "Slim Gold" style of calligraphy and advancements in painting.

The painting itself is a delicate and detailed work that exemplifies the refined aesthetic and technical skill characteristic of the Imperial Painting Academy, which Huizong established. It depicts a vibrantly colored parakeet perched on the branch of an apricot tree in bloom, a subject that reflects the traditional Chinese artistic themes of nature and harmony. The parakeet, with its five distinct colors, is rendered with meticulous brushwork that captures both its lively spirit and the softness of its plumage.
