Alan Hunt is a British wildlife artist and naturalist who grew up in North Yorkshire, England, sketching the local songbirds. He studied zoology at Bristol College and became head zookeeper at Chester Zoo in Cheshire before turning to painting full time. His years of studying animals up close shaped his detailed style, and his paintings are in public and private collections around the world.

Comes with the original Frame House Gallery certificate of authenticity, its seal numbered 695/975.
