About the piece

Painted by renowned sporting artist Henry Thomas Alken around 1840, this work depicts a spirited moment during a hunt. The composition balances the raw power of the jumping horses with the serene, rolling hills of the British countryside, rendered in a refined, naturalist style characteristic of the period.
