"On the Scent" is a notable work by the esteemed English artist and engraver Henry Alken, who is renowned for his contributions to sporting art in the early 19th century. Alken, born in 1785, was a prolific artist whose works primarily focused on hunting, coaching, and other equestrian subjects, capturing the vibrant and dynamic essence of these activities with remarkable precision and energy.

"On the Scent" exemplifies Alken's skill in depicting the excitement and movement inherent in hunting scenes. The artwork typically portrays a pack of hounds in full pursuit, noses to the ground, as they follow the scent of their quarry. Alken's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the fluidity of motion are evident in the way he renders the hounds and the landscape. The composition often includes elements of the English countryside, providing a picturesque backdrop that enhances the overall narrative of the chase.

Alken's work is characterized by his use of vivid colors and dynamic compositions, which bring a sense of immediacy and liveliness to his scenes. His ability to capture the anatomy and behavior of horses and hounds with such accuracy and vitality made him a favorite among the sporting gentry of his time. "On the Scent" is a testament to his talent and his deep understanding of the subjects he depicted.

In addition to his paintings, Alken was also known for his engravings and illustrations, which were widely published and contributed to his popularity. His works were often used to illustrate books on hunting and other sports, further cementing his reputation as a leading artist in this genre. "On the Scent" remains a celebrated example of Alken's work, reflecting both his artistic prowess and his passion for the sporting life.
