William Henry Hunt, British 1790-1864- Studies of figures, creels and an eel trap; pencil and watercolour on paper, 10.1 x 8.6 cm. Provenance: with Martyn Gregory, London [VG 573b]. Note: Hunt trained under John Varley (1778-1842) and first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1807, continuing to show there until 1825. He was elected an Associate of the Society of Painters in Watercolours in 1824, becoming a full member two years later, and remained one of its most prolific exhibitors. Renowned for his detailed still lifes of fruit, flowers, and birds' nests, as well as his sensitive genre scenes, he earned the nickname 'Bird's Nest Hunt'. His work was widely admired and keenly collected during his lifetime.
