Cattleya Orchid and Three Hummingbirds, Martin Johnson Heade, oil on wood, 14 x 18 in. (35 x 46 cm), in the collection of the National Gallery of art, DC. which has a large downloadable image.
Though he also painted wonderful landscapes, Martin Heade’s standout subjects are his portrayals of exotic flowers and birds. Here, he sets a striking pink orchid against a mist enshrouded forest, and includes three rare hummingbirds and a nest with eggs.
