This print shows a quiet Suffolk scene. John Constable made it in the mid-1800s using mezzotint, a tricky print method that gives deep blacks and soft light. Late in life, Constable oversaw a big print project. He picked his own paintings and drawings to turn into 22 mezzotints. The series was called English Landscape. See more prints by Constable at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
