Additional information
Constable studied at the Royal Academy Schools and developed a remarkably spontaneous technique. Together with J.M.W.Turner, he was a key figure in British landscape painting. This small but intense picture of a cottage near the artist's birthplace of East Bergholt in Suffolk derives from a sketch of 1815. Exhibited at the Royal Academy and the British Institution in 1817-1818, Constable sold it to W.Venables, later Lord Mayor of London, for 20 guineas in 1818.
