"Ruby-Throated Humming Bird" is a renowned illustration by John James Audubon, an eminent American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter. This artwork is part of Audubon's seminal work, "The Birds of America," which is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed. Published between 1827 and 1838, "The Birds of America" contains 435 life-sized prints of North American bird species, each rendered with extraordinary detail and artistic skill.

The "Ruby-Throated Humming Bird" illustration captures the vibrancy and delicate beauty of the species Archilochus colubris, which is the only hummingbird that breeds in eastern North America. Audubon's depiction is notable for its dynamic composition and meticulous attention to the bird's iridescent plumage, which shimmers with hues of green and ruby red. The illustration often features the hummingbird in its natural habitat, feeding on nectar from flowers, which underscores Audubon's commitment to portraying birds within the context of their environment.

Audubon's artistic process involved extensive field observations and specimen collection, which allowed him to achieve a high degree of accuracy in his representations. His work on the "Ruby-Throated Humming Bird" is no exception, showcasing his ability to blend scientific precision with artistic flair. The illustration not only serves as a valuable scientific record but also as a testament to Audubon's deep appreciation for the natural world.

"The Birds of America" was originally published as a series of hand-colored prints, produced through a combination of etching, engraving, and aquatint. These prints were issued in sets to subscribers, making the work accessible to a broader audience and cementing Audubon's legacy as a pioneering figure in both ornithology and art. The "Ruby-Throated Humming Bird" remains one of the most celebrated images from this monumental collection, admired for its beauty and historical significance.
