"Cattleya Orchid and Three Brazilian Hummingbirds" is a notable oil painting by the American artist Martin Johnson Heade (1819–1904), created in 1871. Heade was renowned for his landscapes, seascapes, and depictions of flowers and birds, with a particular focus on hummingbirds and tropical scenes. This painting is a quintessential example of Heade's work during the period when he was deeply fascinated by the exotic allure of the tropics and the rich biodiversity of South America.

The artwork features a large, vibrant Cattleya orchid, a genus of orchids native to Central and South America, which is set against a lush background suggestive of a tropical forest. The orchid's pink and purple hues are complemented by the presence of three hummingbirds, adding dynamism and a sense of life to the composition. The hummingbirds, with their iridescent feathers and rapid movement, were a subject of enduring interest to Heade, who traveled extensively in Brazil and other parts of Latin America to study and paint them.

Measuring 34.9 by 45.7 cm, "Cattleya Orchid and Three Brazilian Hummingbirds" is a testament to Heade's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the delicate interplay of light and color. The painting is also significant for its contribution to the genre of still life and natural history painting in the 19th century, blending scientific accuracy with artistic beauty.

The painting is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and is considered one of Heade's masterpieces. It reflects the artist's unique position among American painters of his time, as he straddled the worlds of fine art and scientific illustration. "Cattleya Orchid and Three Brazilian Hummingbirds" continues to be admired for its technical skill and its evocative portrayal of the natural world, and it remains an important work in the study of American art and the depiction of exotic subjects during the 19th century.
