" I don't like Modern Art , I've tried to study it and make something of it and I Can 't - But this is looking at life, it's real, " added Mr Hays.
The Work was painted in January to March in The Artist 's London Studio . The lane winding into The Cornfield is based on Fen Lane, where Constable had often walked as a boy from his own village of East Bergholt to Dedham, where he went to school.
Although it was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1826, it failed to sell.

David Forbes from North Shields added: " I saw it was coming on The News and the chance to see something as exquisite as this you Can 't pass that by. My favourite bit is the little lad Drinking Water with his head in The Pool , it's amazing. "
