"Misjudging the Jump" is one of the satirical prints from the series "Qualified Horses and Unqualified Riders," created by the British artist Henry Thomas Alken in 1815. The series, which comprises a number of hand-colored etchings, humorously depicts various equestrian mishaps and the follies of inexperienced riders. Alken, who was well-known for his sporting and hunting scenes, often portrayed the relationship between humans and animals with a keen sense of observation and wit.

In "Misjudging the Jump," Alken illustrates a comedic scene where an inept rider has incorrectly estimated the leap over an obstacle, leading to an impending fall or accident. The artwork captures the moment of suspense and the inevitable consequences of the rider's miscalculation. This plate, like others in the series, serves as a social commentary on the pretensions of the English gentry of the time, particularly those who aspired to partake in country sports without the requisite skill or experience.

The series "Qualified Horses and Unqualified Riders" is considered one of Alken's most significant contributions to the genre of sporting art, and it reflects the artist's adeptness at combining fine artistry with humor. Alken's work has been influential in shaping the visual culture of British sporting life in the early 19th century and remains of interest to collectors, historians, and enthusiasts of equine art. "Misjudging the Jump" and the series it belongs to are notable examples of Alken's legacy and his ability to capture the idiosyncrasies of British society through the lens of sport.
