Hand coloured aquatint by Thomas Sutherland etched by Henry Alken. Published by Thomas McLean, Haymarket London, 1824. Hunting Scene: Full Cry.

Professionally reframed.

Henry Thomas Alken (12 October 1785 – 7 April 1851) was an English painter and engraver chiefly known as a caricaturist and illustrator of sporting subjects and coaching scenes. His most prolific period of painting and drawing occurred between 1816 and 1831.

Thomas Sutherland (1785-1838) was a renowned engraver and aquatinter.

'Full Cry' was first published in 1824 with the last reproduction published in 1927. Also displayed at The British Museum (museum no. 1927,0609.8).

This etching with aquatint details a foxhunt in action in the British countryside. A Full Cry is a hunting term for when the dogs have found the trail of the foxes, and begin to bark.

This old painting has been professionally re-framed in keeping with its original wooden frame. It doesn't sit flat due to age - the framer said that the painting has been stuck to the mount so she didn't want to change that in case it damaged the artwork. A wonderful piece of art with glorious colours.

Frame size (landscape): 83 cm wide x 40 cm high

Picture size: 59 cm x 13.5 cm
