This painting shows a wide, open landscape with rolling hills in the distance. The sky is light and airy, with soft clouds scattered across it. Below, the ground looks dry and patchy, with patches of green and brown blending together. The artist used loose, watery brushstrokes to create a sense of distance and light. The colors are muted, with blues and grays dominating the scene. Look up Constable, John (RA) to see more of his landscapes.
