Henry Thomas Alken, often referred to as Henry Jr. Alken, was a prominent English artist and engraver known for his works depicting sporting and hunting scenes. One of his notable works, "On The Scent," exemplifies his skill in capturing the dynamic and spirited nature of 19th-century British country life. Alken was born in 1785 in Soho, London, into a family with a rich artistic heritage. His father, Samuel Alken, was also a well-regarded artist, and Henry Jr. followed in his footsteps, becoming one of the most celebrated sporting artists of his time.

"On The Scent" is a quintessential example of Alken's ability to convey movement and excitement through his art. The piece typically features a pack of hounds in full pursuit, noses to the ground, as they follow the scent of their quarry. The scene is often set against the backdrop of the English countryside, with rolling hills, dense woodlands, and expansive fields providing a picturesque setting for the hunt. Alken's attention to detail and his ability to capture the energy and intensity of the chase make "On The Scent" a standout piece in his oeuvre.

Alken's works, including "On The Scent," were highly sought after during his lifetime and continue to be appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts of sporting art. His illustrations were often published in books and periodicals, making his work widely accessible to the public. Alken's influence extended beyond his lifetime, as his depictions of hunting and sporting life helped to shape the visual culture of 19th-century Britain.

"On The Scent" not only showcases Alken's technical prowess but also provides a window into the social and cultural practices of the time. The piece reflects the popularity of hunting as a pastime among the British gentry and offers insight into the traditions and customs associated with the sport. Through his art, Alken has left an enduring legacy that continues to captivate audiences and preserve the spirit of a bygone era.
