Studies of Two Ploughs is a 6 oil by John Constable, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
John Constable painted a quick oil study called *Studies of Two Ploughs* in 1814. It shows two kinds of ploughs—one heavy with wheels, one lighter and swung by hand. He used this sketch to work out details he’d later put into finished paintings. The Romantic painter focused on the shapes and textures of farm tools. This piece is less about mood, more about careful observation. Next, check out another work by Constable at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
