This sketch was made in the Suffolk countryside, near the home of Constable’s aunt. The view offers a glimpse of the quaint hamlet of Stoke and its church of Saint Mary the Virgin. In related versions of the scene (Tate Britain, London; Victoria and Albert Museum, London), the figure standing in deep shadow on the roadway is replaced by a woman in white carrying a brightly colored bundle.
