We have written 'After' in the artist profile because we are not certain that it is by Constable without doing all the research, full testing and date analysis. If it was genuine it would be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

The quality is excellent and the stretcher bars on the reverse are, I believe, in keeping with the ones that Constable bought. Whilst this is very common nowadays, it has an old reline so the original canvas is not visible.
Without doing the background research and getting the official authentication we are only comfortable in describing it as 'After'.
