"Setting Off The Difficult Fence" is a notable work by the English artist and engraver Henry Thomas Alken, who was renowned for his depictions of sporting and hunting scenes in the early 19th century. Alken, born in 1785 and active until his death in 1851, was a prolific artist whose works captured the dynamic and often perilous world of equestrian sports, a popular pastime among the British gentry of his time.

This particular piece, "Setting Off The Difficult Fence," exemplifies Alken's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey motion and emotion through his art. The scene typically features a group of riders and their horses attempting to navigate a challenging fence during a hunt. Alken's mastery in illustrating the tension and excitement of the moment is evident in the way he portrays the horses mid-leap, their muscles straining and their riders focused intently on the task at hand. The composition often includes a variety of expressions and postures, capturing the drama and unpredictability of the hunt.

Alken's work is characterized by his use of vibrant colors and precise lines, which bring a sense of realism and immediacy to the scene. His attention to the anatomy of both horse and rider, as well as the landscape, adds depth and authenticity to his illustrations. "Setting Off The Difficult Fence" is a testament to Alken's skill in capturing the essence of the sporting life, making it a valuable piece for both art enthusiasts and historians interested in the cultural practices of the 19th-century British elite.

The piece is part of a larger body of work that includes numerous prints and paintings, many of which were published as series or collections. Alken's contributions to sporting art have left a lasting legacy, influencing subsequent generations of artists and continuing to be celebrated for their historical and artistic significance.
