"Redhead And Shoveler" is a notable painting by Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait, an English-born American artist renowned for his detailed and dynamic depictions of wildlife, particularly game birds and hunting scenes. Created in the mid-19th century, this work exemplifies Tait's mastery in capturing the essence of the American wilderness and its fauna.

Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait was born in Liverpool, England, in 1819 and emigrated to the United States in 1850. He quickly became associated with the Hudson River School, a group of artists known for their romantic portrayal of the American landscape. Tait, however, carved a niche for himself with his focus on wildlife, contributing significantly to the genre of sporting art. His works were celebrated for their realism, attention to detail, and the ability to convey the vitality and movement of his subjects.

"Redhead And Shoveler" features two species of ducks, the Redhead and the Northern Shoveler, set against a naturalistic backdrop that showcases Tait's keen observation skills and his dedication to authenticity. The painting captures a moment of interaction between the two birds, highlighting their distinctive physical characteristics and behaviors. The Redhead, with its striking reddish-brown head and blue-gray body, contrasts with the Northern Shoveler's unique spatulate bill and iridescent plumage. Tait's use of light and shadow, combined with his meticulous brushwork, brings a lifelike quality to the scene, making the viewer feel as though they are witnessing a moment in nature firsthand.

Tait's work was highly regarded during his lifetime, and he exhibited frequently at the National Academy of Design, where he was elected an Associate member in 1858 and a full Academician in 1860. "Redhead And Shoveler" is a testament to his skill and his contribution to American art, particularly in the realm of wildlife painting. Today, Tait's paintings are held in high esteem and can be found in various prestigious collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
