"Two Lurchers Coursing" is a painting by Henry Thomas Alken, an English painter and engraver known for his depictions of sporting and hunting scenes. Born on October 12, 1785, Alken was a prolific artist whose work captured the essence of British country life during the early 19th century. The painting "Two Lurchers Coursing" is a fine example of his expertise in illustrating the energy and movement associated with the sport of coursing, where dogs chase game by sight, not scent.

The artwork features two lurchers, a type of sighthound, in the midst of a coursing event. Lurchers are traditionally a crossbreed of sighthounds with working dog breeds, known for their speed, agility, and hunting prowess. Alken's painting vividly portrays the dynamism and focus of the dogs as they pursue their quarry across an open landscape. The composition captures a moment of intense action, showcasing Alken's skill in rendering the muscularity and grace of the animals, as well as his understanding of the coursing sport.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is reflective of Alken's artistic period, which spanned from the early 19th century until his death in 1851. "Two Lurchers Coursing" is characteristic of Alken's style, which often included rural sporting scenes, and it contributes to the visual record of British sporting culture during this era. The painting is appreciated by enthusiasts of fine art and sporting history alike for its historical value and artistic merit.

As with many of Alken's works, "Two Lurchers Coursing" likely resonated with the gentry and aristocracy of the time, who were patrons of such sporting activities. Today, the painting is considered part of Alken's significant contribution to the genre of British sporting art and continues to be of interest to collectors and historians. The painting's current location or ownership status is not widely publicized, which is common with many private art collections.
