Constable was born at East Bergholt House and regarded the little Suffolk village as his home until the death of his parents and his marriage in 1817. From our knowledge of his movements, this panel dated May 18 can be assigned to either 1811 or 1815. It shows the home of an elderly neighbour of the Constables, Mrs Roberts, and is one of the most freely painted and smallest of all Constable's oil sketches.
