"Colonel Mordaunt's Cock Match" is a notable painting by the German neoclassical painter Johann Zoffany, created around 1784-1786. This artwork is a vivid depiction of a cockfight that took place in Lucknow, India, under the patronage of Asaf-ud-Daula, the Nawab of Oudh. Zoffany, who was known for his keen observational skills and ability to capture the essence of social gatherings, was commissioned to paint this scene during his stay in India.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical and cultural context. It provides a rare glimpse into the colonial life and the interactions between the British and Indian nobility during the 18th century. The composition is bustling with activity, featuring a diverse array of figures, including British officers, Indian nobility, and local spectators, all gathered around the central spectacle of the cockfight. The detailed rendering of the costumes, expressions, and postures of the figures showcases Zoffany's mastery in portraiture and his ability to convey the vibrancy of the scene.

One of the central figures in the painting is Colonel John Mordaunt, an officer in the British East India Company, who is seen enthusiastically participating in the event. The painting also includes a self-portrait of Zoffany, who places himself among the spectators, thus adding a personal touch to the work.

"Colonel Mordaunt's Cock Match" is housed in the Tate Britain, London, and remains an important work for its artistic quality and its documentation of a unique cultural exchange during the British colonial period in India. The painting continues to be studied and admired for its intricate details, historical significance, and the light it sheds on the social dynamics of the time.
