William Henry Hunt (1790-1864) was an English watercolor painter who specialized in still lifes. Due to his fondness for one particular subject he was given the nickname "Bird's Nest Hunt".

The watercolor in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, which is now known at The Farm Boys was signed and dated 1833 by the artist. Hunt rarely, if ever, dated works he painted in the 1850s.

You're right! I read 1833 as 1853.
