About the piece
Painted by renowned sporting artist Henry Thomas Alken around 1825, this oil painting captures the atmospheric intensity of a duck hunt. The composition balances the dynamic action of the hunter and his dogs against a soft, overcast English landscape, rendered with a sophisticated palette of earthy tones and cool blues.
