About the piece

This evocative oil sketch by English master John Constable captures the rural landscape of Stoke-by-Nayland around 1810. With energetic, almost impressionistic brushstrokes, the work highlights the interplay between the massive trees and the soaring church tower in the distance, all set under a characteristically restless English sky.
