About the piece

Painted by the renowned English master John Constable in 1807, this oil study captures the majestic Bow Fell in Cumberland. The work demonstrates Constable's early interest in the atmospheric effects of the Lake District, featuring a dramatic interplay of light through broken clouds over the jagged peaks. A lone sheep in the rocky foreground provides a sense of scale and quiet life to this quintessential Romantic-era landscape.
