"After Coursing" is a notable work by the English artist and engraver Henry Thomas Alken, who is renowned for his depictions of sporting and hunting scenes. Created in the early 19th century, this piece exemplifies Alken's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the dynamic energy of rural sports. Alken, born in 1785, was part of a family of artists and became one of the most prolific and popular sporting artists of his time. His works often illustrate the vibrant and sometimes chaotic nature of hunting, racing, and other countryside pursuits, reflecting the social and cultural milieu of Regency and early Victorian England.

"After Coursing" specifically portrays the aftermath of a coursing event, a form of hunting where greyhounds chase hares by sight rather than scent. This sport was a popular pastime among the British gentry and is depicted with a sense of both excitement and tranquility in Alken's work. The painting or print typically features the exhausted yet triumphant dogs, the hunters, and the serene landscape, all rendered with Alken's characteristic attention to the nuances of movement and expression.

Alken's ability to convey the physicality and spirit of the animals, as well as the leisurely yet competitive atmosphere of the sport, makes "After Coursing" a significant example of his oeuvre. His works, including this one, are celebrated for their historical value, providing insight into the sporting life of the 19th century. Alken's influence extended beyond his lifetime, as his illustrations and prints continued to be admired and collected by enthusiasts of sporting art. "After Coursing" remains a testament to Alken's skill in capturing the essence of British country sports and the landscapes that frame them.
