Details
Painted in the July/August of this year, there are other sketches made during the artist’s stay in Flatford this summer, two of these cottages with a barn and trees, drawn on the same day, in the same sketchbook.
Believed to be that of The Old Mill House, in East Bergholt which has been depicted in a number of sketches with similar views, however the position of the windmill appears to alter to fit the composition of each.
