Eminent 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, his detailed, naturalistic still lifes of fruit, flowers, and birds' nests earned him the nickname ‘Bird’s Nest’ Hunt.
