About the piece
Created around 1825 by celebrated British artist Henry Thomas Alken, this oil painting is a quintessential example of traditional sporting art. The scene depicts the height of the hunt, featuring two pointers in the foreground and a hunter taking aim against a moody, atmospheric landscape of rolling hills and overcast skies. Alken's mastery of animal anatomy and his ability to convey narrative tension are on full display here.
