The Hay Wain
Finished in 1821, The Hay Wain is one of Constables most famous images, depicting a rural scene on the River Stour between Suffolk and Essex.
The Hay Wain is one of a series of paintings by Constable called the "six-footers", large-scale canvasses which he painted for the annual summer exhibitions at the Royal Academy.
With the image being so sought after a series of mezzotints and etchings were produced after the painting so that people could have a glimpse of it in their homes.
Many engravers took upon the mantle of creating the painting into an etching/engraving over the years, in varying sizes, technique and condition. The artist who engraves the work normally puts their name under the image, sometimes preceded by the word ‘sculpt’ or ‘scpt’.
This mezzotint on India wove paper was engraved after John Constable by Pratt (Joseph Bishop, 1854-1910)
