About the Item

Samuel Alken Coursing Scene Lithograph with hand colouring 25 x 42 cm Samuel Alken Jr. (1784–1825) was a British artist and engraver, part of the prominent Alken family of painters and engravers, known for their sporting and hunting scenes. He was the son of Samuel Alken Sr. and contributed significantly to the family's artistic legacy. Like his father, Alken Jr. worked primarily in engraving and painting, specialising in aquatint and other printmaking techniques. Inkeeping with family tradition, Alken Jr. often depicted sporting subjects such as horse racing, hunting, and other outdoor pursuits in his engravings and paintings. As such, his works have been praised for their dynamic composition and attention to detail. This particular edition depicts greyhounds closing in on a hare. Unable to keep pace, the huntsmen follow behind on horses. Rolling hills and greenery form the background of this etching, where the hand colouring captures the gentle hues of this landscape.
