About the piece
Painted in 1825 by renowned British sporting artist Henry Thomas Alken, this oil on canvas depicts a traditional winter hunt. Two figures lie in wait on a snowy bank, accompanied by their attentive hounds, as ducks fly over a cold coastal inlet under a dramatic, overcast sky. The work reflects Alken's mastery in capturing the atmosphere and technical detail of English field sports.
