"A Check; Full Cry; Cover; And The Death" is a notable series of four paintings by the distinguished English artist and engraver Henry Thomas Alken (1785–1851). Renowned for his dynamic and vivid depictions of sporting scenes, particularly those involving hunting and equestrian activities, Alken's works capture the essence and excitement of 19th-century British country life. This series, created in the early 19th century, exemplifies Alken's mastery in portraying the various stages of a fox hunt, a popular and culturally significant pastime among the British gentry of the period.

Each painting in the series represents a different phase of the hunt, showcasing Alken's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey movement and emotion. "A Check" depicts the moment when the hounds temporarily lose the scent of the fox, creating a sense of suspense and anticipation. "Full Cry" illustrates the exhilarating chase as the hounds, riders, and horses are in full pursuit of their quarry, capturing the intensity and speed of the hunt. "Cover" shows the hounds searching for the fox in dense underbrush, highlighting the skill and determination required in the sport. Finally, "And The Death" portrays the climactic end of the hunt, with the hounds having successfully caught the fox, reflecting both the triumph and the somber reality of the chase.

Alken's work is characterized by his use of vibrant colors, meticulous attention to detail, and his ability to convey the physicality and drama of the hunt. His paintings not only serve as artistic achievements but also as historical documents that provide insight into the social and cultural practices of his time. "A Check; Full Cry; Cover; And The Death" remains a significant contribution to the genre of sporting art, celebrated for its dynamic composition and historical relevance.
