"A Game Cock" is a painting by Henry Thomas Alken, an English painter and engraver primarily known for his sporting and hunting scenes. Born on October 12, 1785, Alken was a prolific artist who captured the essence of British country life during the early 19th century. His works often featured horses, dogs, and other animals, reflecting the sporting interests of the British gentry of the time.

The painting "A Game Cock" is a fine example of Alken's attention to detail and his ability to convey the character and spirit of the animals he depicted. It portrays a gamecock, or fighting cock, which was a popular subject in sporting art due to the prominence of cockfighting as a sport during the period. The gamecock in the painting is typically shown in a proud and defiant stance, highlighting its strength and fighting spirit, which would have been admired by enthusiasts of the sport.

Although the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is likely to have been produced during the height of Alken's career, between the early 19th century and his death in 1851. "A Game Cock" reflects the technical skill and artistic sensibility that Alken brought to his depictions of rural sports, and it remains a significant work for those studying the genre of sporting art and the cultural history of animal sports in Britain.

As with many of Alken's works, "A Game Cock" would have been appreciated by a clientele that valued both the artistry of the painting and the subject matter's connection to their leisure pursuits. Today, the painting stands as a historical record of a pastime that has since fallen out of favor, but it also serves as a testament to Alken's enduring legacy as one of the foremost sporting artists of his time.
