"Eclectus Parrot, 1917" is a watercolor painting by the Australian artist and naturalist Marian Ellis Rowan (1848–1922), known for her detailed and vivid botanical and bird illustrations. This particular artwork depicts the Eclectus Parrot (Eclectus roratus), a bird species known for its striking sexual dimorphism, with males being bright green and females predominantly red and purple. Rowan's painting is part of her larger body of work that often focused on the flora and fauna of Australia and the Pacific region.

Marian Ellis Rowan gained recognition for her contributions to botanical art and illustration during a time when women's participation in the sciences was limited. Her work was characterized by a blend of scientific accuracy and artistic appeal, which made her paintings both educational and aesthetically pleasing. The "Eclectus Parrot, 1917" exemplifies Rowan's skill in capturing the vibrant colors and intricate details of her subjects, contributing to the scientific and artistic understanding of the species.

The painting not only serves as an example of early 20th-century Australian natural history art but also reflects the broader context of women's roles in science and art during that period. As with many of Rowan's pieces, "Eclectus Parrot, 1917" likely contributed to the documentation and appreciation of biodiversity, at a time when ecological conservation was not yet a widespread concern.

Today, the artwork is a testament to Rowan's legacy as one of Australia's pioneering female natural history artists. It continues to be appreciated by both art enthusiasts and ornithologists for its beauty and scientific value. The painting is also an important cultural artifact, representing the intersection of art, science, and gender in the early 20th century.
