"Full Cry; And A Companion Drawing" is a notable work by the English artist and engraver Henry Thomas Alken, who is renowned for his contributions to sporting and hunting art in the early 19th century. Alken, born in 1785, was a prolific artist whose works vividly captured the essence of British country life, particularly focusing on hunting, coaching, and racing scenes. His keen eye for detail and dynamic compositions made him a favorite among the sporting gentry of his time.

"Full Cry" is a quintessential example of Alken's ability to depict the excitement and energy of a fox hunt. The term "full cry" refers to the moment in a hunt when the hounds are in full pursuit of their quarry, baying loudly and enthusiastically. Alken's rendering of this scene is characterized by its lively portrayal of both the hunters and the hounds, capturing the intensity and thrill of the chase. The companion drawing, often paired with "Full Cry," complements the main piece by providing additional context or a different moment from the same hunt, thereby enriching the narrative and visual experience for the viewer.

Alken's works are celebrated for their accuracy and spirited representation of the subjects, often infused with a touch of humor and keen observation of human and animal behavior. His drawings and prints were widely circulated and appreciated, contributing significantly to the visual culture of the Regency and early Victorian periods. "Full Cry; And A Companion Drawing" stands as a testament to Alken's skill and his enduring legacy in the realm of sporting art. The pieces not only serve as artistic achievements but also as historical documents, offering insights into the social and recreational practices of the British upper classes during Alken's lifetime.
