Young Pollards

John Constable

ca. 1801 · Graphite · Drawings and Prints

Constable, or his friend Frost, here sketched a curved path leading through trees whose branches have been trimmed or "pollarded," with thin shoots later growing from the pruned areas. Frost often worked in a style that deliberately imitated that of his friend, which makes it difficult to determine which one of them was responsible for sheets like this one.
