"Hare Coursing" is a painting by Henry Thomas Alken, an English painter and engraver primarily known for his hunting, sporting and coaching scenes. Born on October 12, 1785, Alken was a prolific artist who captured the essence of British country life during the early 19th century. "Hare Coursing" depicts the sport of releasing sight hounds to chase a hare by sight, not scent, reflecting the popularity of such blood sports among the British gentry of the time.

The painting is characteristic of Alken's style, which often featured lively rural activities with a focus on the energy and movement of both the human participants and the animals involved. His works are noted for their dynamic composition and attention to detail, which is evident in "Hare Coursing" through the portrayal of the dogs in mid-chase and the expressions of the onlookers.

"Hare Coursing" serves not only as an artistic representation of a historical pastime but also as a cultural artifact, offering insight into the values and interests of the British upper class during Alken's lifetime. The painting is one of many by the artist that captures the sporting events of the era, which were a significant aspect of social life and leisure.

As with many of Alken's works, "Hare Coursing" is likely to be held in a private collection or displayed in a museum that specializes in British art from the period. The painting contributes to the understanding of British sporting art and the historical context of the period, making it a valuable piece for both art historians and enthusiasts of early 19th-century British culture.
