A hay wagon drawn by three horses fords the River Stour near Flatford Mill in Suffolk, beneath a sky of moving summer cloud, with Willy Lott's cottage at left. First shown in 1821 as Landscape: Noon, it failed to sell in London but won a gold medal at the Paris Salon of 1824, where it impressed Delacroix and a generation of French painters.
Look closer
A dog on the near bank watches the wagon. Flecks of white paint catch the light on water and leaves, a device critics called "Constable's snow".
