Yarmouth Jetty is a 1822 oil by John Constable, held at Clark Art Institute.
The painting depicts a serene beach scene with a long jetty extending into the water. The sky is filled with large, fluffy clouds, and several boats are visible in the distance. In the foreground, a horse-drawn cart is parked on the beach, accompanied by a small boat. The painting's use of color and light creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer's eye to the jetty and the boats in the distance. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the textures of the sand and the water, as well as the subtle nuances of the sky.
