"Unexpected Intrusion (or Boy Feeding a Cockatoo; Turkish Page)" is a notable painting by the prominent American Impressionist artist William Merritt Chase (1849–1916). Created in the late 19th century, this work exemplifies Chase's adeptness at capturing the interplay of light and color, as well as his interest in the exotic and the everyday. The painting is characterized by its vibrant palette, loose brushwork, and the depiction of a moment of casual intimacy between a young boy and a cockatoo.

The composition features a young page, dressed in an ornate Turkish costume, offering food to a cockatoo perched on a stand. The scene is set against a richly decorated interior that reflects Chase's fascination with Orientalism—a trend among Western artists of the time who were inspired by the art and culture of the Middle East and Asia. The painting's title, "Unexpected Intrusion," suggests a narrative element, inviting viewers to ponder the circumstances leading to this serene yet enigmatic moment.

William Merritt Chase was a leading figure in American art during his lifetime, known for his portraits, still lifes, and landscapes. He was also a respected teacher and influential in the establishment of the Chase School, which later became Parsons School of Design. "Unexpected Intrusion" is a testament to Chase's skill in genre painting, a field in which he excelled alongside his more formal portraiture and landscape work.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be a subject of study for its artistic merit and as an example of American Impressionism and the cultural influences that shaped the art of the period. Through "Unexpected Intrusion," Chase contributes to the rich tapestry of American art history and offers insight into the eclectic influences that artists of his era embraced.
