About the piece
Painted around 1830, this expressive oil study by John Constable showcases his masterful ability to capture transient atmospheric effects. The composition features a cluster of dark, wind-swept trees set against a roiling, copper-toned sky, characteristic of the artist's later, more emotive and turbulent style.
