Description

These works are typical of those of Alken who often produced prints of sporting scenes in series of four or six of horses and riders in landscapes of rolling green hills, such as the subject properties. They often show similar horses in the sequence in the course of a hunt. The painting on the glass that covers the images intensified the blue skies and the greens of the ground and hills.
