EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Two Terriers Ratting" captures a moment of lively action and determination. Painted by Henry Thomas Alken, or possibly one of his followers, between 1805 and 1851, this oil on panel artwork measures 17x24 cm and is housed in The Weston Park Foundation in Shropshire, UK. In this scene from the early to late nineteenth century countryside, two terriers are seen eagerly chasing after a rat. Their intense focus and agility are evident as they navigate through farm buildings with great speed. These dogs serve as valuable assets to farmers for their exceptional pest control abilities. The artist's skillful use of color brings vibrancy to the painting, highlighting the various animals involved in this rural pursuit. A collie dog can be spotted nearby acting as a guard dog while a playful puppy adds an element of innocence amidst the excitement. This artwork not only showcases Alken's talent but also serves as a testament to the importance of vermin specialists during that era. It provides us with a glimpse into life on farms where extermination was necessary for maintaining crops and protecting livestock. With its detailed brushwork and realistic portrayal of wildlife animals engaged in their natural behavior, "Two Terriers Ratting" stands out as an exquisite example of fine art painting from the nineteenth century.
