About the piece

Painted in 1821, this masterly cloud study by John Constable showcases the artist's dedication to capturing the shifting moods of the English sky. Part of a series of 'skying' exercises, the work uses a muted palette of greys and soft whites to create a sense of vast, open atmosphere and quiet movement.
