About the piece

Painted around 1822, this oil study by John Constable showcases his celebrated ability to capture the fleeting effects of light and weather. The composition balances the grounded human activity of a small bonfire with the airy, dynamic movement of a vast English sky, rendered with his characteristic loose and expressive brushwork.
