A young couple standing on the left seems to be ignoring the central action of this work, whose right side shows the moon out of a window and a boy holding open a small metal door.
One man in this painting holds his glasses in his hands and rests his chin on a walking stick, while another man holds a pocket watch in his hand but does not look at it. A young couple standing on the left seems to be ignoring the central action of this work, whose right side shows the moon out of a window and a boy holding open a small metal door. A glass bowl with a skull in it is placed in front of this painting's central light source, which illuminates a man comforting his daughters who are frightened by the central action. That action is being conducted in front of an empty cage by a man who stretches one hand out towards the viewer while his other hand rests on the title device, a glass bowl containing a frantic white cockatoo. For 10 points, name this painting of a scientific experiment by Joseph Wright of Derby.
