"Colonel Mordaunt's Cock Match at Lucknow" is a notable mezzotint engraving by Richard Earlom, an English printmaker of the 18th century, renowned for his skill in this medium. The work is based on a painting by Johann Zoffany, a German neoclassical painter who spent a significant period of his career in India. The original painting, created in the 1780s, depicts a cockfighting event organized by Colonel John Mordaunt, the son of the 1st Viscount Mordaunt, and a group of Indian and British spectators in Lucknow, a prominent city in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent.

The scene is a vivid representation of the cultural interactions and social diversions of the British colonial elite and Indian aristocracy during the period. It captures the excitement and the atmosphere of the gambling event, which was a popular pastime among certain social circles at the time. The artwork is significant for its detailed portrayal of the individuals present, including Colonel Mordaunt himself, and for its depiction of the costumes, expressions, and attitudes of the period.

Richard Earlom's engraving is a testament to the technical prowess and artistic sensitivity required to translate the vibrancy and detail of Zoffany's original painting into a print. The work is held in high regard for its historical value, providing insight into the colonial era and the practices that were a part of the leisure activities of the time. It is also an important example of cross-cultural artistic collaboration and the dissemination of art through the medium of printmaking.

The engraving is part of various collections and has been the subject of scholarly attention, both for its artistic merit and for what it reveals about the colonial history of India and the social dynamics of the 18th century. "Colonel Mordaunt's Cock Match at Lucknow" remains an important work for the study of British-Indian history, art history, and the cultural exchanges that occurred during the period of British presence in India.
