This is the unique original Watercolour painting by Frank Marsden Lea.

An original watercolour. Constable had to make his own colours, and spent a great deal of time at this tedious job before he could embark on the actual painting. As only a small quantity could be mixed at a time; matching was important. This is the original artwork for one of the illustrations on p23 of Look and Learn issue no 185 (31 July 1965).
