Alken's work captures the energy and excitement of a hunting spree, highlighting the social aspects of the hunt beyond the sport itself. The title "Quick Work Without A Contract" suggests a narrative of spontaneity and perhaps a hint of humor or critique regarding the informal agreements or understandings common in such social and sporting gatherings.
