"Shooting; refreshing; Cock Shooting; Going Home" is a series of four paintings by the British artist Henry Thomas Alken (1785–1851), who was known for his depictions of sporting and hunting scenes. Created in the early 19th century, these works collectively capture the essence of a day's sport in the English countryside, reflecting the social and sporting customs of the period.

The series begins with "Shooting," which typically would depict sportsmen in the act of hunting, surrounded by the rural landscape that was a hallmark of Alken's work. This would be followed by "Refreshing," illustrating the midday break where the hunters and their companions might rest and take sustenance, a scene that often includes detailed renderings of the participants' attire and equipment.

The third painting, "Cock Shooting," would focus on the specific pursuit of woodcock, a popular game bird, showcasing Alken's skill in rendering the movement and excitement of the hunt, as well as his understanding of the animals and the environment in which they live.

The series concludes with "Going Home," a scene that captures the end of the day's activities, with the hunters returning from the field, often portrayed in the soft glow of the evening light, which adds a sense of nostalgia and satisfaction to the day's events.

Henry Thomas Alken's works are significant for their historical value, providing insight into the sporting life of the British gentry during the early 1800s. His attention to detail, both in the depiction of the human figures and the landscapes, offers a vivid portrayal of the era's leisure activities. The "Shooting; refreshing; Cock Shooting; Going Home" series exemplifies Alken's contribution to British sporting art and continues to be appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts of cultural history.
