EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a charming scene from the world of foxhunting, engraved by the talented Thomas Sutherland. In this vibrant color lithograph, we are transported to a picturesque countryside inn where hunters and their hounds take respite after an exhilarating chase. The focal point of the print is a spirited barmaid, exuding both grace and confidence as she tends to her patrons. With a jug in hand, she serves drinks to dismounted huntsmen who gather around her in animated conversation. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed as these men socialize while enjoying their well-deserved refreshments. Meanwhile, outside the tavern's forecourt, dogs frolic playfully under the watchful eye of their masters. Horses stand patiently nearby, still adorned with hunting gear that hints at the excitement they have just experienced.

This idyllic rural setting showcases Henry Thomas Alken's skillful interpretation of English sporting art.
