If you can't afford a Constable (who can?) this is the next best thing!  A marvelous rendition of the English countryside complete with a "gaggle" of geese, children playing, a man in a cart, horses grazing, and houses in the middle and far distance.   All of that, plus billowing clouds, in a palette reminiscent of Constable and you have a focal point for that favorite room which could provide a lifetime of pleasure!  This painting was acquired from the estate of the original owner, who purchased the painting in England shortly after its execution.
