About the piece

Created by Lionel Bicknell Constable in 1851, this study captures the majestic presence of an ash tree with remarkable tonal sensitivity. The interplay between the deep, shadowed greens of the foliage and the restless, grey-blue sky creates a profound sense of atmosphere characteristic of the English landscape tradition.
