Despite a handwritten label on the reverse identifying the present painting as having being exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1822, it would appear that the latter is actually no. 22.6 in Graham Reynolds' The Later Paintings and Drawings of John Constable, which is today in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.1
