"In Full Cry" is a painting by Henry Thomas Alken, an English painter known for his works depicting hunting, coaching, racing, and other sporting scenes. Born in 1785, Alken became one of the leading sporting artists of his time, capturing the essence of British country life during the early 19th century. "In Full Cry" is a quintessential example of his work, showcasing a fox hunting scene, a popular sport among the British gentry.

The painting depicts a moment of high excitement during a fox hunt, with hounds in pursuit of their quarry and the hunters, dressed in traditional red coats, following on horseback. The term "in full cry" refers to the hounds giving full voice in chorus when they are hot on the scent of a fox. Alken's attention to detail in the portrayal of the horses and hounds, as well as his ability to convey the movement and energy of the hunt, make this painting a valuable record of the sporting life of the period.

Alken's work is characterized by its dynamic composition and vibrant portrayal of the British sporting scene. "In Full Cry" is no exception, capturing the drama and tradition of the hunt with a realism that was highly regarded by his contemporaries. The painting is a testament to Alken's skill in illustrating the nuances of rural sports, which has made his work sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of equestrian and hunting art.

"In Full Cry" is part of a larger body of work by Alken that includes other hunting scenes, as well as coaching, racing, and shooting subjects. His paintings and engravings have been widely reproduced, contributing to his reputation as one of the foremost sporting artists of the 19th century. The painting remains an important cultural artifact, reflecting the social and sporting customs of the era in which it was created.
