View on the Stour near Dedham

Artist: John Constable
Artwork: View on the Stour near Dedham
Description: This is a pencil sketch by John Constable of a view of the River Stour near his home in Dedham Vale, Essex. The view is from the west, looking towards the village of East Bergholt. The pencil sketch is freely handled, with Constable using a variety of marks to suggest the different textures of the trees, the river, and the sky. The sketch is also a good example of Constable’s use of light and shade to create a sense of depth and atmosphere.
