The story
The trogon had been invited to tea by the Countess, who admired its sense of drape. It arrived punctually, perched as instructed, and waited. The Countess never came. The tea cooled. The glove, left by the footman who had fled upon seeing such avian elegance, remained. The trogon did not move. It considered leaving, but feared wrinkling its crest. So it stayed, stylish and woeful, a feathered monument to the quiet tragedy of being overdressed for an occasion that never arrived.
The brief
A single trogon stands motionless on a polished mahogany perch in a dimly lit Victorian parlor, its iridescent emerald and sapphire feathers catching the slanting afternoon light from a dusty window, while a half-empty teacup and a single glove lie forgotten on the nearby side table.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
