[ALKEN, Henry Thomas (1785-1851), attributed to]

[Pair of racing scenes.]

An exciting pair of racing scenes at the Ascot and Epsom races. Henry Alken captures the atmosphere of the races, with horses hurtling down the course, nostrils flared, and the cheering crowds amassed behind. Alken weaves playful moments into these illustrations, as the leading jockey at Ascot peers behind him at his competition and in the other a spectator lifts his hat whilst standing on his carriage roof in, what we can assume, is a gesture of support and encouragement for his chosen horse.



Watercolour and pencil on paper (197 x 271mm); Mounted on card within grey wash border (350 x 500mm), Ascot Races [with] A Race at Epsom [thus captioned in pencil], not dated (minor soiling to sky). Each work is corner and hinge mounted on card, in new silk-faced window mount (very minor fraying to edges).



Watercolour on paper, (200 x 274mm); Mounted on card within grey wash border, (360 x 500mm) (minor marking foreground, some soiling to sky).
