CONSTABLE (John), R. A.
(1776-1837)
78. — The River Stour. Suffolk
The river occupies the whole of the foreground. On the left, in the shadow of a rich group of trees, a barge, in which are four figures, is moored near the bank of the river; another barge, only seen in part, and a small row-boat, with a man in it. lie near. On the right, a small wooden bridge, on which are two cows, leads to a farm, half hidden by trees. Two boys angling, and a woman with a child in her arms are nearer the foreground.
