"Tufted Coquette" is an oil painting by the American artist Martin Johnson Heade (1819–1904), who is best known for his works depicting landscapes, seascapes, and various species of birds and flowers. The painting is part of Heade's series of hummingbird studies, which he began in the 1860s and continued throughout his career. The "Tufted Coquette" specifically features a small, vibrantly colored hummingbird native to South America, known for its distinctive orange crest and spotted plumage.

The artwork is characteristic of Heade's meticulous attention to detail and his fascination with the natural world. Heade's hummingbird paintings are particularly noted for their combination of scientific accuracy and artistic beauty. In "Tufted Coquette," the bird is typically shown in an exotic and lush environment, hovering or feeding on nectar from vibrant flowers, which reflects Heade's interest in the interplay of light, color, and nature.

Martin Johnson Heade was part of the Hudson River School, a mid-19th century American art movement that was known for its romantic portrayal of the American landscape. However, Heade's work is often distinguished from his contemporaries by his unique focus on tropical and intimate subjects, as well as his use of light to create mood.

"Tufted Coquette" is not only a testament to Heade's artistic skill but also serves as a historical record of the biodiversity that captured the imagination of 19th-century audiences. The painting is an example of Heade's contribution to American art and his dedication to capturing the subtle beauty of smaller facets of the natural world, which were often overlooked by other artists of his time.

The painting is held in various art collections and has been displayed in several prominent museums. It continues to be a subject of interest for art historians and naturalists alike, representing a convergence of art, ornithology, and the burgeoning environmental awareness of the era in which it was created.
