About this work

This watercolour painting shows a landscape with a large sky and some trees in the foreground. The sky is painted in shades of blue and grey, with some white clouds. The trees are dark green and are painted in a loose, expressive style. The painting has a romantic feel to it, with the soft colours and the emphasis on the natural world. It's a beautiful example of Constable's skill as a landscape painter. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of other Romanticism artists.
