Description / Expertise

Mezzotint by David Lucas (1802-1881).
(Reference Shirley 33)
Though engraved for Constable c1832, this plate, like others of square or portrait format rather than landscape proportions, was not included in the 1834 edition of Constable's "English Landscape Scenery". It was first issued in 1846 by Lucas for his "Second Series" of Constable's 'English Landscape Scenery'. This impression is from the Bohn re-issue of all the Constable landscapes, 1855.
The equestrian figure is Constable's father.
