"Hare Coursing: The Chase; And The Kill" is an 18th-century painting by the British artist John Francis Sartorius (1734–1795), who specialized in sporting and animal subjects. Sartorius came from a family of artists and was known for his detailed and lively depictions of hunting scenes, horse races, and other country pursuits that were popular among the British gentry of the time.

The painting captures the dramatic moment of a hare coursing event, a sport where hares are pursued by greyhounds or other sighthounds. It reflects both the chase and the imminent kill, highlighting the intensity and movement of the dogs as they close in on the hare. Sartorius's work is characterized by its dynamic composition and the realistic portrayal of the animals in motion, which was a significant theme in his oeuvre.

"Hare Coursing: The Chase; And The Kill" is a significant work within Sartorius's body of art as it exemplifies the sporting genre of the period and provides insight into the cultural practices of the time. The painting is notable for its historical value, offering a glimpse into the leisure activities of the British aristocracy and the rural landscape of the 18th century.

As an artist, Sartorius was part of a lineage that included his father, John Sartorius, and his son, Francis Sartorius the Younger, both of whom were also painters of sporting subjects. His works are considered important for their contribution to British sporting art and are held in various art collections, including those of museums and private collectors interested in the genre.

The painting serves as an example of the artist's skill in capturing the essence of the sport and the naturalistic depiction of animals, which has been appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts of equine and sporting art. It remains a testament to the popularity of hare coursing in the history of British sport and the artistic tradition that celebrated it.
