In late work Constable has romantic motifs – ruins, stormy conditions of nature. The appearance in the works of ruins, which usually symbolize the frailty of being, may be related to the death of the spouse in 1828.
In a letter to his brother Constable admitted that after the loss of his dear “angel”, the outside world forever changed for him. The sketch was written in the size of a future picture shown at the Academy in 1829, the full name of which is “Hadley Castle.– The Thames Estuary – Morning After a Stormy Night.”
