About the piece

This 1824 oil painting by John Constable depicts a quiet afternoon of agricultural labor in Suffolk. Known for his revolutionary approach to light and atmosphere, Constable captures the immense scale of the sky with rolling, luminous clouds that dominate the composition above a detailed valley landscape.
