About the piece
Painted around 1840, this oil on canvas by Henry Thomas Alken is a quintessential example of British sporting art. The work captures the 'Full Cry' moment of a hunt, where riders in classic red livery and top hats navigate their horses through a rolling landscape, accompanied by a focused pack of hounds rendered with Alken's signature anatomical precision.
