The story

The greenlet had been invited to tea by mistake, and having arrived, found retreat socially impossible. It adjusted its waistcoat for the third time, noting with quiet dismay that the lace collar itched and the host had not yet noticed it was not a guest. The teacup cooled. Outside, rain began.

The brief

A small greenlet bird stands stiffly on a velvet chaise in a dimly lit drawing room, wearing an absurdly elaborate lace collar, miniature cufflinks, and a velvet waistcoat too large for its frame, under the glow of a single shaded lamp casting soft amber on gilt wallpaper and a half-empty teacup.

The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
