A striking, authentic pair of early 19th-century English sporting engravings after the celebrated equestrian artist Henry Thomas Alken, dated 1834. These beautiful period pieces capture classic British country fox-hunting scenes, featuring riders in traditional red coats on horseback trailing hounds through a rolling countryside landscape.
Housed in elegant, classic wood frames with multi-layered mats. The backing paper retains wonderful historical provenance, featuring a vintage handwritten inscription noting these were curated from an original four-piece series, alongside a mid-century gallery label from Betty Brown Picture Framing (Cincinnati, OH).
These pieces perfectly embody the traditional Grandmillennial, masculine library, or British country estate aesthetic. They make a fantastic symmetrical styling anchor for an entryway, dining room, or gallery wall.
