"Full Cry; And Treeing the Fox" are two coveted pieces of art by the well-renowned British artist Henry Thomas Alken. Alken, born on 12 October 1785 and laid to rest on 7 April 1851, was celebrated for his many contributions to the field of engraving, illustrating and painting. He is particularly noted for his sporting and coaching scenes, meticulously and vividly reflecting English life in the regency era.

"Full Cry; And Treeing the Fox" are no exceptions to Alken oeuvre, encapsulating typical English hunting scenes with a breathtaking sense of reality and deep attention to detail. While the circumstances of their creation are not precisely documented, like many of Alken’s other pieces, these works are most likely to date back to the first half of the 19th century, during the period when the artist was most active.

In "Full Cry," Alken translates the dynamism and intensity of a foxhunt into a visual narrative, capturing the hounds in full chase and the sheer thrill of their pursuit. The riders, presented in the vista, symbolise the upper-class society indulging into this sport, thereby immersing viewers into a quintessential British culture of the time.

"Treeing The Fox," on the other hand, is a depiction of the culmination of a foxhunt. True to its title, the fox is seen taking refuge in a tree as the hounds continue their spirited search on the ground, with the details leading to a sense of crescendo. As paired works, "Full Cry; And Treeing the Fox" offer a beautifully drawn dichotomy of the hunt's excitement and climax, demonstrating Alken's fervour for portraying sport and society of his era.

While there is ample documentation attributing these works to Alken, it should be noted that details about the initial date and place of their exhibition, their commission or patronage, vary and are primarily speculative. Regardless, "Full Cry; And Treeing the Fox" remain treasured pieces of Alken's artistic legacy and stand out as memorable narratives of the British cultural history.
