About the painting
This sketch is based upon a small pencil drawing dated 22 July 1816. It depicts a mill belonging to Constable's father, a sluice and lock gate on the River Stour, and the tower of Dedham church. It was the model for several larger Constable paintings.

Nel frattempo, nella vita di John Constable
Tutta la vita1816
A marriage against the bride’s grandfather
Maria’s grandfather, Dr Rhudde, rector of East Bergholt, opposed the match: he thought the Constables his social inferiors and threatened to disinherit her. Constable’s parents approved but offered no support until he was financially secure; they died soon afterwards, and he inherited a fifth share of the family business.
October 1816
A honeymoon by the sea
After the wedding at St Martin-in-the-Fields, conducted by Fisher, the couple stayed at Fisher’s vicarage and toured the south coast. The sea at Weymouth and Brighton pushed Constable towards brilliant colour and lively brushwork.
