"A Good Hold of His Head" is a renowned work by the British artist Henry Thomas Alken. Born in 1785, Alken was a prominent sporting and animal painter who was active during the early to mid-19th century. Expanding his artistic repertoire into engraving illustration, he crafted some of the most vivid visual commentaries of early 19th-century British sport and society.

"A Good Hold of His Head" encapsulates artist's keen observation of equestrian subject matter. It is part of a larger series that Alken made to illustrate different stages and technical aspects of horsemanship. Featuring a horse and rider, Alken precisely captures the athleticism, skill and strength required in sport through decisive brushwork and a highly detailed rendering of the horse and its muscular structure. At the same time, the work reveals Alken's deep understanding of horse physiology and behaviour, alongside the complex relationship between the horse and the rider.

While the exact dating of "A Good Hold of His Head" is undetermined, it notably synchronises with Alken’s overall artistic style and development over the years. The work has been praised for its realistic portrayal of the horse's power and elegance combined with the disciplined control of the rider.

The piece continues to be admired as a classic representation of Alken's artistry, demonstrating his skill in depicting horses and elucidating the novelties and nuances of English sporting life during the nineteenth century.
