Lot Essay

This sheet has been slightly trimmed but is probably from the same sketchbook as lots 127 and 128. Stylistically the drawing is similar to those from August 1809 of Malvern Hall (see Reynolds, op.cit., nos. 09.16, 09.20, 09.21 and 09.22). The architecture of the building does not relate to Malvern Hall, however the sketchbook includes other drawings of houses at Twyford executed earlier that year (Reynolds, op.cit. nos. 09.09-09.13). The object of Constable's visit was to execute a portrait of Henry Greswold Lewis's ward Mary Freer (Reynolds, op.cit., no. 09.23).
