Attributed to John Constable

(England, 1776-1837), Gleaners, Oil on cardboard, 14.5x10 cm.

*Accompanied by an invoice from the Dr. W. Katz Gallery, Old Bond Street, London, 1960.

**Constable often painted on thin homemade card (made from two or three pieces of paper glued and pressed together). Sometimes Constable used a full piece of card for a sketch while on other occasions he cut it into smaller sections. Constable usually painted oil sketches outdoors so that he could quickly and freely capture the changing light and movement in the landscape. Constable also sketched small objects and vignettes, using the oil medium to consider subjects simultaneously through form, colour and texture. Later in the studio, he could refer back to these sketches as he planned larger compositions. From: https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/constables-oil-sketches
