The series "Hacking To The Meet; Approaching The Fence; Over The Fence; Andtrotting On" is a quintessential example of Alken's ability to convey movement and excitement through his art. Each painting in the series illustrates a different stage of a fox hunt, a popular and socially significant activity among the English gentry during the period. The first painting, "Hacking To The Meet," depicts riders leisurely making their way to the gathering point.
