One of the most lyrical and soulful landscapes of Gainsborough. The warm day of the “first autumn”, a peasant’s horse, slowly carrying a loaded cart, a fussy little dog is tangled around and bustles around.
The surprisingly fair words said about Gainsbore Constable: “Without paying particular attention to detail, he, like no one, can convey the mood of the scene he wrote.”
