Summer Afternoon, after a Shower

David Lucas after John Constable

National Gallery of Art

This image depicts a black and white landscape with an aerial view of a pastoral scene. The horizon is positioned two-thirds up from the bottom, meeting swirling clouds in the sky. The sky occupies a significant portion of the image with darker clouds on the left and lighter clouds on the right. A windmill is visible on a hill to the right, and the field in the foreground has cows, a figure, and a dog. Loose brushstrokes create movement and texture in the land and sky. The image uses varying shades of grey and black.
