About the piece

Painted in 1807 by John Constable, this oil study depicts his father's riding horse. The work demonstrates Constable's early mastery of light and form, placing the powerful silhouette of the animal against a textured, moody sky and the rolling hills of the Suffolk countryside, capturing a sense of quiet nobility and heritage.
