This is a drawing by John Constable. It shows a river scene near Mistley, a port town in Essex. The view is along the river’s approach to the town. Constable visited Mistley a few times between 1813 and 1819. Here, the church towers designed by Robert Adam appear in the distance. The drawing captures more detail than his earlier sketch from 1813. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
