Henry S. Cottrell was a most competent 19th century sporting painter who specialised in painting racehorse and hunter portraits as well as a few hunting scenes.
Comparatively little is known about his life and he did not exhibit in the London exhibitions such as the Royal Academy or the British Institute. This is not unusual though as a good number of highly proficient artists from outside the major metropolitan areas were able to earn a good living just from commissions, obviating the necessity of advertising themselves and their talent in public exhibitions. Word of mouth, reputation and personal recommendation would suffice to obtain a steady stream of work.
Recorded examples of his paintings include such titles as the renowned trotting horse 'Confidence' shown in action, "The Bath to London Royal Mail Coach", "Return from Coursing", and "Tom, a favourite Pony, the property of Mr J Hawgood". The coaching scenes would sometimes be depicted passing hunts in full cry, a theme popular with J F Herring. Stable interiors with a groom with a hunter, and almost invariably a dog, was a common subject also as was a sportsman returning home from a day's shooting. These latter subjects are somewhat redolent of artists such as Martin Theodore Ward and Edmund Bristow. Most of Cottrell's works were of a comparatively small size.

- The Hunt Breaking coverBy Samuel Alken Jnr.Located in Stoke, HampshireSamuel Alken Jnr (1784-1825) The Hunt Breaking cover Signed 'S. Alken.' lower right Oil on canvas Canvas size - 24 x 36 in Framed size - 31 x 42 1/2 in Samuel Alken junior was the eldest son of Sporting artist Samuel Alken (1756-1815), he was born on April 10th. The family mostly became sporting artists, his younger brothers Henry Thomas (Ben Tally Ho), George and Sefferien. Little is known about his life, in his father's will he was the only son mentioned, but this was to leave him 1s., which presumably was a derogatory legacy perhaps because, as Shaw Sparrow suggests, he traded on his father's name, signing in the same manner. However, as he often signed quite clearly S. Alken Jnr one feels it unlikely, but it does imply S. Alken Snr also painted sporting pictures. There has always been great confusion over the Samuel Alkens and for a long time they were looked upon as one person. number of prints were published after Samuel Junior's work including a set of sixteen published in the early 1820's depicting various sports, including hunting, racing, shooting and fishing. In the works recorded by him, his style would seem closer to that of Barenger. A lot of small wooded shooting scenes...Category
