"Boys Crabbing" (1855) is an oil painting by the American genre artist William Tylee Ranney (1813–1857). Known for his depictions of frontier life and historical scenes, Ranney's work often reflects the spirit of American expansionism and the everyday experiences of the country's inhabitants during the mid-19th century. "Boys Crabbing" captures a moment of leisure and childhood play, illustrating several boys engaged in the activity of catching crabs.

The painting is characterized by its attention to detail and the vivid portrayal of the boys' expressions and movements, which convey a sense of immediacy and involvement in their task. Ranney's use of light and shadow, as well as his skillful rendering of the water and natural surroundings, contribute to the overall sense of realism and the depiction of a simple, yet joyful, aspect of rural life.

Although not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, Ranney's work is significant for its contribution to the genre of American scene painting, and "Boys Crabbing" exemplifies his ability to capture the essence of American life during a period of significant change and development. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be appreciated for its historical value and artistic merit, offering insight into the social and cultural dynamics of the United States during the 1850s.

As with many works of art from this period, "Boys Crabbing" may also be analyzed in the context of the artist's broader oeuvre and the themes prevalent in mid-19th century American art, including the exploration of American identity, the celebration of nature, and the focus on everyday life.
