William Henry Hunt
William Henry Hunt was an English watercolourist. Hunt was one of the key figures in nineteenth-century English watercolour painting. His work was extensively collected in his lifetime, particularly his genre pictures of children, often in humorous situations, and his detailed, naturalistic still lifes of fruit, flowers, and birds' nests that earned him the nickname «Bird’s Nest» Hunt.
