About the piece
Painted by John Constable in 1826, this work captures Parham Mill in Gillingham with the artist's signature attention to atmospheric light and natural texture. The scene depicts a quiet rural moment, with water cascading over the mill wheel and small figures near the old stone and timber structure. Ducks glide across the reflective surface of the water in the foreground, while a distant horizon stretches beneath a vast, cloud-filled sky.
