"Two Hummingbirds Guarding an Egg" is a 19th-century oil painting by the American artist Martin Johnson Heade (1819–1904), who is renowned for his depictions of tropical birds, flowers, and landscapes. This work is part of Heade's extensive series of hummingbird paintings, which he began in the 1860s and continued to develop throughout his career. The painting features a pair of hummingbirds near their nest, with one bird perched protectively close to an egg, showcasing Heade's meticulous attention to avian anatomy and his fascination with the natural world.

Heade's hummingbird series is characterized by its vibrant colors, dramatic lighting, and the often intimate portrayal of these energetic birds in their natural habitats. "Two Hummingbirds Guarding an Egg" exemplifies Heade's skill in combining scientific accuracy with a poetic sensibility, as he captures the delicate beauty of these creatures and their environment. The painting's composition, with its detailed foreground subjects set against a lush, yet subdued, tropical background, reflects Heade's unique approach to the still-life genre, infusing it with elements of landscape and narrative.

As a member of the Hudson River School, albeit with a distinct personal style, Heade's work is often associated with the romantic American landscape tradition, but his hummingbird paintings, including "Two Hummingbirds Guarding an Egg," stand out for their more intimate scale and focus on the exotic subjects that he encountered during his travels in Central and South America. This painting, like many of his others, not only offers a glimpse into the artist's enchantment with nature's small wonders but also serves as a historical record of the biodiversity that captured the imagination of 19th-century audiences.

"Two Hummingbirds Guarding an Egg" is a testament to Martin Johnson Heade's enduring legacy as a painter who bridged the gap between naturalism and sentiment, creating works that continue to be celebrated for their beauty and scientific value. The painting remains an important piece within Heade's oeuvre, contributing to our understanding of the artist's thematic preoccupations and his contribution to American art history.
