"King Henry, A Fighting Cock" is a notable work by the English artist Henry Thomas Alken, who is renowned for his contributions to sporting and animal art in the early 19th century. Alken, born in 1785, was a prolific painter and engraver whose works often depicted scenes of hunting, racing, and other equestrian activities, reflecting the sporting culture of his time. His art is characterized by its dynamic composition, attention to detail, and vibrant portrayal of movement, which brought to life the vigor and excitement of the subjects he depicted.

"King Henry, A Fighting Cock" exemplifies Alken's skill in capturing the essence of animal subjects, particularly those involved in the then-popular sport of cockfighting. Cockfighting, though controversial and now largely outlawed, was a common pastime in the 18th and 19th centuries, and Alken's work provides a historical window into this aspect of British sporting life. The painting or print (as Alken often worked in both mediums) likely showcases a dramatic moment in a cockfight, with the titular King Henry being a prominent fighting cock, possibly depicted in a stance that highlights its strength and combat readiness.

Alken's ability to convey the intensity and drama of such scenes made his works highly sought after during his lifetime and continues to attract interest from collectors and historians today. His contributions to sporting art have left a lasting legacy, and "King Henry, A Fighting Cock" stands as a testament to his talent in portraying the spirited and often controversial world of animal sports. Through his detailed and dynamic representations, Alken not only entertained his contemporaries but also provided valuable insights into the cultural practices of his era.
